I was unhappy with my previous PR and wanted to do more digging into when an audio file is seekable. Most other players (like JWPlayer we use on GP.com) initially sent a
Range=0-1request to force a response from the server side. It returns either a 206 (Partial content), which means it is seekable or 200 with a possibleAccept-Ranges=nonewhich means it is not.For example, VLC follows a similar logic where it determines seekability based on 206 status code.
