The restriction here comes from the libvlc api itself.
The api is very basic (because it is very experimental as well) so what is 
needed is somebody to work on extending the API. Not an overly difficult 
task, but still, coming up with a good API is not always easy.

If the stream is seekable from the client side, then I guess it should work. 
If not then it might be a bug.
