I think it's (approximate) seconds...  Hit 999SeekRelative+.  Note that 
the number has to be relatively large (i.e. greater than 8, and 
depending on position, possibly greater than 15); otherwise, the 
"approximate" may mean nothing happens but an audio "skip".

There's also "SetPosition%", which is used to seek to the position at 
which the specified percentage of playback has been completed.  
Therefore, "50SetPosition%" will seek to the half-way point of the 
recording.  And, there's "SetPositionX0%" where "X" is a number 1-9 (or 
not specified for 0%).
