Frankly, I think this is not the right place to "merge" seek requests.

This should be done in the input thread directly. To that end, we should
set a finite "target state" of the input, instead of pushing requests. Then
older requests are automatically discarded if a contradictory requests is
sent before the older ones are coped with.

Then, we don't delay the first seek, and everybody (not just the Qt4
interface) benefits.
