Damn, I was not aware that a player should interpolate with the
associated error. I made mpg123 actually seek to one of the given 100
positions and advance from there. So, that particular player should be
sample-accurate even when hopping around in VBR. I went through pains
and caused some code convolution to assure that;-)

But yes, "normal" players can introduce that through seeking. This is
what mpg123 does in fuzzy seeking mode (with even larger error without
the seek table).


Alrighty then,
