The "first" time? You mean before 0:00? Or before the display time
(like, stop seek when time display says 20:00, but playback starts at
around 6:00)?

If the podcast is in MP3 format, it could be because the file contains
somewhat bad data; not enough to prevent playback, but enough to fool
the time display in Rockbox.

Maybe. :) For really large files (at least more than 30 MB) there could
be seeking problems...

Please do - but I might not be able to look at it right away. Or maybe
you could just point to the podcasts in question.
