command: change stream-pos semantics
Changing the byte stream position without cooperation of the demuxer seems a bit insane, and is certainly useless. A user should do factor seeks instead. For formats like ts, this will actually translate to byte seeks, while treating the rest of the playback chain a bit more gracefully. With this argument, remove write access to this property. If someone really complains, proper byte seeks could be added as seek mode (although I'm going to need a convincing argument for this). Read access changes too, but in a more subtle way.
