Are you sure you're testing the same files with each player? FLAC files 
are a bit weird in that you specifically need to create them with 
seekpoints in order to freely seek inside of them. I specifically 
remember implementing support for this.

Otherwise, perhaps the MPlayer folks actually did the work to parse the 
stream in the demuxer to allow more flexible streaming.
