I would be surprised if this really is a new hint, but I can't find anything on the subject from searching Mac OS X hints. The closest hint is similar, though, as it refers to changing iTunes' volume by using a scroll wheel mouse.
Whilst a song is playing in iTunes, position the mouse pointer anywhere over the display element that contains the current position of the song (i.e. the long thin gray bar between the 'time elapsed' and 'time remaining' counters). You can now use the scroll wheel of your mouse (or scroll with a track pad) to scrub backwards or forwards through the song.
This technique allows for some precision playback adjustment. One 'click' on the scroll wheel of my Logitech trackball seems to adjust the playing time by less than a second. This hint also works in the miniature iTunes window.
