Can you please clarify your use case? ffmpeg as a command line program
can seek using the -ss option. But "while playing song" does not make
a lot of sense to me, because ffmpeg basically only converts from one
format to another.

Are you referring to ffplay?

Or are you using the FFmpeg APIs to read and decode a file that you're
playing in another application you coded yourself?
