Changing the audio.currentTime has weird side effects

[thom4parisot]

For some reasons, some timeframes move the cursor to a different position as the requested one.

var a = document.querySelector('audio')
a.currentTime = 6;

This is related to bbc/waveform-data.js#7 and bbc/waveform-data.js#8

Floating number conversion is creating an undesired playhead move.

The actual problem is a waveform_seek is triggered in waveform.zoomview, and due to the above problem, the playhead is moved again because of a audioElement.currentTime update.
