Streaming media is, I think, where exact positioning is most required. If you're listening to a 2 hour lecture, for instance, and want to go back 10 seconds because you've missed the last sentence, well good luck using the slider with "reasonable accuracy". The longer the stream, the harder it is to make such small adjustments because the slider is fixed-width, so it loses precision.

Lectures tend to be recorded rather shoddily, so small adjustments are frequently required.
