skip_duration not instant

[janwirth]

I was wondering how to build a scrubbable progress bar with rodio - Source.skip_duration is not instant, so this method won't work. If rodio is not the right tool to build an audio player, can you please point me in the right direction?

related to #176 and #338 (with hacky workaround)

As far as I have seen rodio is the simplest way to do this in rust. If low latency is really important on the audio you may be better off building in another language, or working on backend support.

I don't know if that helps, but I've built a very simple audio player with seeking. It's using Kira as an audio lib and seeking was easy to do. The downside is that kira does not stream (yet), so loading audio takes longer than in rodio. Seeking is instant though.

Closing as dupe of #176

That being said, it's not a perfect dupe of #176, as one can think of fast-mode skip_duration like functionality in many formats, which is basically linear seeking, and easier to implement than logarithmic seeking. E.g. in vorbis it's easy to find out the number of samples in a packet without decoding it, so it is possible to skip the given number of samples if needed.
