Sounds similar to a problem I noticed with nuv files that I had to fix in
the windows filters.

Sometimes the audio (maybe video too?) timestamps is realy weird, they start
of with some realy large number and for a few frames they increase and then
they are reset to zero and continues normaly.

The problem with this with the windows filters is that they expect the audio
timestamps to always increase but since the timestamps made a big jump down
the audio woud pause.

Before I fixed this, seeking made audio come back again.

I send a mail about this to this list some time ago, with a sample output of
the timestamps.
