You're going to have to look at the the recordedmarkup table (recordedseek
in current SVN) table to get the byte position of the keyframes then
seek to the nearest keyframe.  There isn't any easy way to get the byte
position of the exact frame so you'll only get seeking to keyframes unless
you can tell the library to not display a frame in which case you could seek
to the closest prior keyframe then skip frames up until the one you need.
