Good question, and the answer is "probably not".  The moodbar
calculation algorithm creates a set of vectors that correspond to time
slices of the track, and then these time slices can be laid out on the
seekbar.  The Marsyas algorithm creates just one vector which averages
a bunch of time slices, so it can't really be mapped to points in the
file.
