More precisely, with pseudo-streaming (what most people are talking about here) the surfer will be able to go to the nearest keyframe. The metadata injector (flvtool2, yamdi, flvmdi, whatever) will find each keyframe and insert the metadata for it for use by a pseudo-streamer. So the granularity of the video tracking will depend on the keyframe placement during encoding.
FMS and other true Flash streaming servers support arbitrary position.
