Hello. I'm having a problem with seeking in TTA (True Audio) files.
The easiest way to reproduce it is to use "Jump to specific time" - the resulting position might be off by 5-10%, depending on the file (up to ~47% in extreme test case with half white noise/half pure silence mix). By itself it would be a minor annoyance if not for a serious side-effect - it is impossible to jump to the start of a specific track when using multitrack cue sheets with single TTA files.
I suspect it happens because modules/demux/tta.c tries to seek by compressed frame size, rather than by decoded time, and since TTA by its lossless nature is a VBR codec, the resulting endpoint is not the same.
Tested with VLC 1.05 and 1.10-rc. The problem doesn't appear with other lossless formats (checked for wav and flac). OS Windows Server 2003 SP2 32bit, but I doubt it makes a difference.
I don't think I can fix the code myself and I'm asking for your help.
