Rather than specifying byte offset, you can change currentTime value of your audio element.

The value should be a real number in unit of seconds;

var url = "your/audio/path.mp3";
var audio = new Audio(url);
audio.addEventListener("play", function() {
    audio.currentTime = 10;  // jump to 00:10
});
audio.play();

It will make browser to jump to certain position of audio, requesting with HTTP range header as necessary.
