TTBOMK, no.

Yeah, I have those mapped (as well as SeekRelative+/-15 and 
SeekRelative+/-60).  I find that the +/- 7 don't always work--depending 
on your location in the video they may actually take you the wrong way 
because xine doesn't have a proper seek table (as Myth does), so it 
"estimates" the appropriate jump.  That's why I mapped all 8 
SeekRelative commands to remote buttons--which would be the best 
approach if you have enough remote buttons).
