device driver code that can response to SEEK_END

[Pattara Kiatisevi]

Oh, it is not the audio device but the simulated flash (fixed size). I
know this fixed size.

so, in the read function if the offset is greater than size then I should
return -1?

And in case of the audio device, can I set sth. to have it "unseekable"?
