Bug Description

When playing a podcast and trying to seek using the slider on the bottom edge, it's a bit cumbersome to get to the point in time you want.

It'd be great if on rotating the screen the layout went to landscape, allowing for a wider area to move the slider and thus finer granularity.

The magnified view of the podcast being listened to comes quite useful for this, but still the wide layout could be useful to be able to do this with less taps.

I am not sure how to proceed here since we replaced the slider in the bottom edge with a progress indicator as shown in http://imgur.com/ZNre70i&99UG5p3#0. This was merged to trunk a few days ago at https://code.launchpad.net/~nik90/podbird/0-clean-bottom-bar/+merge/251533.

As you pointed out, the slider was too small to be of any use which is why I chose to take note of what the music app does in this regard and just show a progress indicator.

We need screen rotation if we are to support video podcasts which will be in the next release v0.7 hopefully.
