Also the following command:

 $ mplayer -msglevel identify=6 -geometry 100%:0  -ss 0.9 -endpos 1.3
videos/00263.avi

gives the following output if I press '.' as soon as possible:

As you can see, it begins before 0.9 and ends properly. I guess the
difference between the 2.3 and the 2.2 must be due to the keyframe
locations?
