I think the events you are looking for are ButtonPressEvent and
ButtonReleaseEvent.
You might be interested in taking a look at the seek slider
implemented in Banshee:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/banshee/tree/src/Core/Banshee.Widgets/Banshee.Widgets/SeekSlider.cs

It's an HScale subclass, and it does the "seek to where I clicked".
The usual pause and play actions are done through a separate
Play/Pause button.
