Tor Arne will probably have a lot more information about that but if I 
remember correctly, the seek feature was impossible to implement with 
the API of Phonon.

I guess the solution would be to use the QtMultimedia backend or maybe 
the new Phonon if the new API provides what is needed. Both solutions 
would require you to modify WebKit.
