As a developer i think no one could live without the CVS commit logs. 
they contain the largest part of the information on the list. The rest 
is usually bugreports. Real discussion usually takes place on the IRC 
channel. http://www.videolan.org/cgi-bin/irc/irc.cgi

I don't think the activity of vlc-devel has much reason to live without 
the IRC commits and therefore i see no reason to split it. However if 
there are many people who would like this split, then i don't object.

Correct i think.

For instance on the OSX slider which ranges from 0 to 10.000 i use:
float f_updated = ( 10000. * p_area->i_tell ) / p_area->i_size;

Or for the time field (psz_time is the destination).
input_OffsetToTime( p_input, psz_time, p_area->i_tell );

p_area->i_part is the current part ( Chapter) p_area->i_part_nb the 
total amount of parts.

p_area->i_id is the id of that area. p_input->stream.i_area_nb the 
total amount of areas.
p_input_stream.p_selected_area the current area.
