Efficient way to seek a streaming audio over network with InputStream

I'm playing an audio file using jlGui's BasicPlayer (it's based on Javasound). The file is in a Samba share and I'm using Jcifs to access it. It gives me an InputStream.

NtlmPasswordAuthentication auth = new NtlmPasswordAuthentication( ... );

SmbFile f = new SmbFile( ... );
SmbFileInputStream audioIn = new SmbFileInputStream(f);

int bufSize = 8096;//should I use f.length() here?
audioBIS = new BufferedInputStream(audioIn, bufSize);

audioBIS.mark(f.length());

    //call BasicPlayer
play(audioBIS);

I need to be able to position the pointer anywhere in the file, just like any common player. The only solution I could think of was to use a BufferedInputStream and a combination of mark/reset/skip everytime I need to reposition the pointer. As soon as I open the file and get the Stream, I call the mark() method, so that a subsequent reset() will reposition me at the beginning. Then with skip() I can go where I want.

audioBIS.reset();
audioBIS.skip(newBytePosition);

My problem is that the skip() call works as desired only if I specify a buffer big enough to contain the whole file.

Is there a more efficient way to do this?
