If you are willing to compile then you can try a patch that improves libavf seeking when using the Internal player.
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7521
You'll also want to apply another patch to fix the video corruption problem when seeking in MKV containers.
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7454
If you do try this it'd be nice to here how your experience goes.
