That's the better solution, I'm trying to coordinate a bit with the
maintainer. The only reason I didn't do this in the first place is because
there is a (possibly unecessary) delay loop inside hermes_bap_seek that I
believe is trying to combat the same problem. I'm awaiting a response from
the maintainer since he knows a bit more about the hardware than I do.
