Description

On the (Android) lock screen/media interface, it would be great if there are buttons to skip ahead and back 15/30 seconds.

This would be very helpful for podcast listening. Perhaps there could be an option to let users decide between "next/previous tracks" mode and "skip ahead/back" mode?

Research direction
Investigate the existing lock screen media interface in Finamp, likely using Flutter's audio service or similar. Look at the notification handler files (e.g., in lib/services or lib/audio) to understand how current media controls are implemented. Identify where skip buttons are registered and add skip forward/backward actions. Consider implementing a user preference toggle between next/previous and skip modes as suggested in the issue.
