Oh yes! I recalled now.
After that change that introduced key-fifo-size, mplayer started to
behave badly on seeking in slow streams. To fast-forward, I keep button
like "right" pressed (or left, for backward); now, obviously mplayer
doesn't seek through stream instantly, so you can see frames and once I
depress button, mplayer continues to play from there.
If there was no key-fifo-size=2 option, mplayer didn't stop but rather
remembered that I was seeking forward and "lagged" on that and kept on
seeking for some time after I depress button, so I miss the place where
I meant to stop.

Hmm.
On the second through, maybe it works with larger key-fifo-sizes; still
it works a bit strange. With -noconfig all:

Bindings are
MOUSE_BTN3 seek +10
MOUSE_BTN4 seek -10


Here is output I get when turning my mouse wheel, I actually get forward
seeking and buttons don't get stuck. Still it seeks poorly and spits
messages all the time - as you can see, only like every 5th wheel turn
registered as action and seeked 10 seconds forward:

Same happens when I tilt wheel to the back (action not bound to any
key). I tilt wheel to the left probably like 2-4 times per second here:
