After investigating, it seems that it does seek on the correct keyframe. 
The problem is that it starts playback from that keyframe, even though 
the actual frame to seek to is much further in the stream...

Is there something like "pre-roll" in VLC that could be used ? Ie starts 
decoding from that keyframe (needed for clean seeking) but only 
rendering from the requested point. That's how it works in DirectShow...
