It doesn't, so this would be a separate patch then i suppose. Have no simple 
way to generate incremental patched, so i'll probably skip this part 
(atleast until other stuff get's applied)

Technically it wouldn't fail completly as the general rutines would handle 
the seek instead. I suppose it's a matter of how one should interpret the 
asf index. ie if it's global or only refers to video frames.

If we consider the index in asf's global, how about always loading the index 
on the first asf stream (not neccesarily the one the seek was issued on) and 
always using that stream during seeks?
