[Live-devel] Get current playback position

I want to first step back and try to get a better understanding of what it is you're wanting to do.  You talk about wanting to "get the current playback position", but then you talk about basically wanting to call "seekStream()" - but that function *sets* the playback position, not gets it.  So I'm a bit confused.

So, can you say a bit more about what you're wanting to do (without necessarily trying to describe how you think it might be done)?
