clamping the position to valid start/end boundaries to prevent overshooting or negative values.
This tool allows you to seek to a specific position within the currently playing track.
You can either provide an absolute position in milliseconds or a relative position from
the current playback position in milliseconds.
Note:
Either absolute_position_ms or relative_position_ms must be provided, but not both. | |||
