[media-source] How to seek outside of buffer? (#225)

sheddup has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/media-source:

== How to seek outside of buffer? ==
Hi, I'm desperately looking for a working example of seeking outside of whats already buffered. 
I can't for the life of me find a working example on the internet and I've been googling for a long time about this issue.

Here is my attempt https://sheddup.github.io/ 
This example appends the Init segment _(bytes 0-1104898)_ then waits for the user to click the seek button then fetches a segment starting @ 25s _(bytes 2209798-3314696)_ then sets video.currentTime to 25s
Code here -> https://github.com/sheddup/sheddup.github.io/blob/master/bbb.js

When I run https://sheddup.github.io/ Firefox throws `Media resource blob:https://sheddup.github.io/c9ca74cb-b020-4e80-ace2-f91e5915f51d could not be decoded.` in Chrome I get the error `CHUNK_DEMUXER_ERROR_APPEND_FAILED` as well as other errors.  
I've read the example code @ https://w3c.github.io/media-source/#examples but the seeking portion of this example is vague and incomplete at least that's my ignorant perception.
