Good.

Bad. :-)

Hmm, I agree mplayer is rather jerky (because it sucks),
but I don't think mpg123 is.

I think seeking with mpg123 (and mplayer, really) feels
smoother now that you get immediate feedback, because you
can hit `f' a bunch of times in rapid succession and the
seek bar will move along nicely.

Anyway, what do you mean by jerky?

Haha, that was kind of fun doing though.  (It's fixed now.)

I can't seem to reproduce this.

That patch made Bongo send floating-point values to mpg123.
I have uploaded a patch that avoids this.  Maybe that helps?

Please see if the problem is still around.

Thanks for helping me test this.
