Describe the bug
On MacOS the native media player playback bar is not controllable and does not follow along with the same bar in the Psst application.

To Reproduce
Play any song via Psst on MacOS, then try to change to a different part of the song via the native MacOS media player.
As well, you can change the position in the song via Psst, and watch the progress not get reflected in the native media player.

Expected behavior
The native MacOS media player playback progress bar should allow you to control the position in the song.

Screenshots

Environment

OS: MacOS
Version: master branch 10/20/22, not sure where to find the version

Additional context
The souvlaki MediaControlEvent::SetPosition event hasn't been implemented yet in Psst, as well, the MacOS implementation in souvlaki itself isn't completed. As well, the update_media_control_metadata() method is only being called during play/pause and needs to have some of its code pulled out and used during a cmd::PLAY_SEEK event.

I'm working on this now. I've opened a PR to implement the SetPosition event for MacOS in souvlaki. Once that is handled I can open a PR with the rest of the changes listed in the Additional Context. Though depending on how long the souvlaki PR takes to get wrapped up I may work on the metadata updating as a separate branch.
