If you use HelixPlayer, you should be able to write a SMIL file and put 
ahcnors in that to allow people to jump around in the audio file. At 
least .. that has worked with RealPlayer and a file from a RealServer 
for years. It might work with and OGG file when played locally or from a 
web server but you'd have to try it out. (Or look at helixcommunity or 
realnetworks for docs).
