Using --pos argument to seek a MP3 results in garbled output about omxplayer HOT 4 CLOSED

I have also noticed problems using --pos with video files (AVC, MPEG2 / MKV, MP4). The symptoms are different, though.

It looks like the a/v seek from file is performed correctly and the video & audio decoders are positioned to seek position, but yet the clock starts from zero PTS (beginning of file). The result is that it will take 60 seconds before the playback starts, if "--pos 60" is used.

The following change fixed the problem for me. Your mp3 seems to play correctly with "--pos 60", too. My setup is git master + change below, raspbian wheezy, 512M Model B, 128M gpu_mem, so another difference is the amount of available memory.
