Seek forward/backward 10s buttons on Android lock screen controls

The background playing feature in VLC is great—thank you. It would be even more awesome with buttons to not just skip to prev/next file, but buttons to seek forward/backward a bit.

Currently, whenever I want to hear something again, I have to interrupt what I'm doing, go to app switcher, switch into VLC, press rewind, go to app switcher, switch into original app, hope nothing got unloaded. The situation is exacerbated further if the user is trying to listen while driving. I don't let myself do that while driving, but it just means I'm lost for the entire rest of the video/drive, which is not great.
