[FFmpeg-devel] Order of demuxed packets after a seek in an ogg container.

Continuous streams (audio, video, anything with a regular timebase)
are arranged so that at any given granule position, all data you need
to decode any future timestamp is ahead of you.

This is not true of discontinuous streams, for example, subtitles.

For continuous streams it's unnecessary, and for discontinuous
streams, it's an unbounded search.

Is there a specific scenario you have in mind?
