Yes. Closing at handler level works fine. 

Consider this however: DVD playback starts with the "Don't copy DVD". Then
automatically goes to "intro/preview" and finally "movie". You don't want to
close everything (all streams, context's, etc). 

What I do now is send a "reset" event through what is now the
CODEC_TYPE_DATA stream. This closes audio/video/sub codecs and flushes
streams. Decoding continues, and then any new streams are added by muxer and
re-opened at app level. 

But; the index file isn't closed, neither are some timestamps reset. Since
that's at file context level. You can't close the file context, and re-open
it, since that closes down the protocol handles (and also the vm and any
states it is in).

I have faith ;)
