You need to look at intf.m and controls.m and how the timeslider  
within it sets and gets it's time information and position data.  
Setting time is similar to setting the position in this case, but  
uses a different named variable (time instead of position)

I welcome the development of new Applescript functionality in VLC.  
Unfortunately I have little experience and understanding of  
Applescript, nor do i intend to gain this any time soon. Therefore i  
welcome anyone offering to do his work. Patches can be submitted to  
vlc-devel as always, and upon review will be committed.

SDK support and digital audio are on my todo list for the next few  
weeks though :D
