[MPlayer-users] -ss doesn't work with ogm files?

I think that there's nothing I can do about it. OGMs do not have an
idex which tells the demuxer at which position in the file 20 minutes
is located, so it tries to guess the position from the amount of bytes
it has already read. This works reasonably well if you seek during
playback (as the demuxer has already processed some bytes at that
time), but of course it won't work right at the beginning.
