That's one thing I didn't understand (among others). If the resume
position is not updated in the first 15s, why do you need to disable
rewind to 0:00 (which is done to save the "precious resume point"). IIRC
it wouldn't be updated anyway. On that note, I feel disabling rewind to
0:00 is a very (too) aggressive approach to save the resume.

Additionally, and that's probably because it's not my use case, but I
find the preciousness you put into a resume point exaggerated.

Best regards.
