Add seeking on slider drop and make it default behaviour

Seeking during slider drag is very CPU and HDD intensive task. We are requesting the player to keep seeking in VERY short amounts of time. This can be performed more effectively by doing a single seek after slider drop. Since this is a different behaviour then usually in media players, I am making this optional (enabled by default).
