Considering that we're mainly planning this for small, embedded devices with limited processing power, that extra bit of flexibility *might* be nice to have.

That's where I also have my doubts. The question is how precise we
need to be. My guess is, since Xing obviates the need to seek to the
end to find the total time, even if it gets us in the very rough
ballpark when we seek it should be good enough to make seeking
unnoticeable on most devices.

If it's not good enough, we could always add Id3 tag support later. As
of right now, I'm going to try using Xing.
