I do understand that, which is why I came up with my latest patch,
and I am not convinced which is really better.
The idea there was to actually _not_ use that offset from the parser,
but just use the packet positions.
The only intentional difference to your approach is to pass it through
the buffering so it will compensate for any delay caused by the parser.
I guess there is an unintentional one that the data the parser sees
changes, I didn't look at that, but I'd expect that that should be
avoidable.
