Isn't this only true if a page in one stream never overlaps the same time
range covered by 2+ pages in another stream? I realize this may not be best
practice, but I don't believe it is forbidden either.
Also, even if you do find a page with a granule pos <= the desired time,
don't you still need to scan backwards to make sure that it is the first
one with such a value?
