Interesting project...

One thing: when skipping forward (or seeking in general)
there's no need to convolve all data up to that point.
If P is the new position and L is the lenght of the IR,
then just call Convproc->reset(), seek the input file to
P - L (or 0 if P < L), and convolve up to P. You're 
computing a FIR filter, so no more history is required.

If the seek involves an output discontinuity for the user,
you could even just call Conproc->reset(), seek to P, and
proceed normally. The result will be as if there was only
silence before P.
