This command was actually requested on IRC ages ago, but I forgot about it. The main purpose is that the decoding state can be reset without issuing a seek, in particular in situations where you can't seek. This restarts decoding from the middle of the packet stream; since it discards the packet buffer intentionally, and the decoder will typically not output "incomplete" frames until it has recovered, it can skip a large amount of data. It doesn't clear the byte stream cache - I'm not sure if it should.
