You need to accumulate the playing time as the stream is decoded. You  
can do this in your output callback with something like:

   static mad_timer_t current_time;

   mad_timer_add(&current_time, header->duration);

To translate the current playing time into specific units, use  
something like:

   long milliseconds;

   milliseconds = mad_timer_count(current_time, MAD_UNITS_MILLISECONDS);

Or you can use a sprintf-style conversion:

   char time_str[18];

   mad_timer_string(current_time, time_str, " %02lu:%02u:%02u",  
MAD_UNITS_HOURS, 0, 0);
