For the QuickTime based media engine, I'm having a pretty hard time writing up
a test.

I modified video-load-and-stall.cgi to throttle serving, but the effect that
has is that we just end up with a largish unseekable range.

What happens is that since the seekable() range is defined maxTimeSeekable(),
which, empirically, seems to be equal to maxTimeLoaded(), it does not seem
possible to seek to a range where quicktime doesn't have the data cached, and
immediately available.  Seeking beyond what has been downloaded, like you said
earlier, makes the HTMLMediaElement throw a INDEX_SIZE_ERR exception.

As far as I can tell, we can't get into a HAVE_METADATA ready state with the
QuickTime media player via seeks, thus the seeking/waiting events are never
fired.

Am I missing some other method to test the behavior of these events?
