What do you mean with "internal pointers"?
(You shouldn't try to access the internal pointers.)

When you start decoding after probing, decoding 
should start with the beginning of the file.
In certain cases (like cut H.264 streams), the 
initial output of the decoding may not match the 
beginning of the file, there are options to 
circumvent that.
