 The current socket control interface requires interaction and
 interpretation of the response to seek in a program.   This could be made
 trivial by enhancing the seek commands a bit.

 I have a Mac OS remote control GUI for Myth, and would like to add some
 new capabilities.. and I think these updates could be generally useful.

 Current:
 play seek HH:MM:SS

 Suggested:
 play seek 25%

 (I would still need to query the current position if I want to update a
 slider, but simpler jump interfaces can be done without chatty updates)

 Current:
 play seek backward

 Suggested:
 play seek backward 60

 Adding another parameter, the time in seconds to jump, allows for multiple
 buttons to jump varying lengths to more quickly jump through blocks of
 commercials
