Maybe not exactly a new bug report, as I reported it during 1.1.0 beta as well and the team decided it won't be fixed for 1.1.0 release.
Strictly speaking I think it should be considered a bug, as existing functionality has been broken by some code changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0, leaving some code unused in BassAudio.cs.
During some g_player refacturing, the functionality to use skip-steps during music playback via FFWD/REW remote keys or F5/F6 keyboard keys got lost and was replaced by increased/decreased playback speed. I think it actually was an oversight, as the code is still in BassAudio.cs, it just doesn't get called because g_player seems to intercept the keypresses.
It may be possible to bring this back by introducing new custom actions that we can map to keys in the configuration. This would at least allow users to choose if they rather want increased/decreased playback speed or skip steps to navigate through an audio track.
I managed to get this working for me by using the ACTION_DELAY_SUBTITLE_MIN/PLUS actions in BassAudio.cs (around Lines 720-730). Those were free and I had keys assigned to them anyway, so it was a logical solution for a quick workaround. Later I switched to the PureAudio plugin, which has similar functionality (although can skip only in steps of 20 seconds), so currently I don't really bother - but other users seem to be, judging from recent comments on the older bug report thread.
I think music playback is currently the only MePo area where skip steps are not working, so it may even be logical from a design perspective to bring this back somehow.
hwahrmann already confirmed the bug back then, as can be seen from the old bug report/mantis.
