FYI, I've seen more or less the same kinds of behaviour with regular
non-DAAP seek on some (mostly MP3s that were ripped using Sound Juicer
with variable bit rate encoding) tracks.  Often these tracks have
bogus time durations due to gstreamer not being able to estimate track
lengths.  Sound Juicer was well and truly mangling the ID3 tags which
possibly accounts for this, but it's interesting that it has the same
effect as the DAAP seek.

For, me DAAP seek doesn't work at all (using gst 0.10), it simply
restarts from wherever you attempted to start seeking in the stream.
