           Summary: visibility of content before the new playback position

The section on “Seeking” 2.4.3 in the 12 March 2013 Editors Draft contains the
following text (“Seeking“ is 3.4.3 in the first public working draft and the
text is the same).

The media element feeds data from the media segments into the decoders until
the new playback position is reached.

“feeds data from the media segments” can be interpreted in many different ways.

What does this actually mean in terms of what the user sees? At least in the
following scenarios;
- The new playback position is a RAP but not the start of a DASH segment
- The new playback position is not a RAP

How much is implementation dependent?
