    Jeremy,

    You've got the right idea, but unfortunately IMediaSeeking only works on AVI
    files, not WMV. The WMF SDK is required to achieve similar functionality
    with WMVs, though it's not as convenient. (I'm speaking of video files,
    here, but similar situations apply to audio.)

    Hopefully maybe the next DirectShow will support seeking in WM files??
