Yes - it's because we don't support server 'trick play' operations 
(which include 'seek') on these media types.

See:

	http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/#trick-play

This is also why the "duration()" virtual function has not been 
implemented for these "*ServerMediaSubsession" classes (because, for 
example, we can't know the duration of a MPEG-4 video file unless we 
were to scan all the way through it).
