We can’t do http range requests against the ogg index byte / time mappings ?

As I recall, XHR won't let us send 'Range' header without some CORS opt-in we haven't figured out how to get working right. If we can resolve that, should be able to rig up seeking & chunked streaming based on Range headers (this would also let us run large files without eating up memory in Safari).

Woohoo, Faidon fixed the CORS bit with a Varnish tweak -- now allows OPTIONS requests through to the backend so the CORS preflight request can go and confirm that it's ok to send Range headers:

I'll work on seeking this weekend if I don't have time before then. :D
