endpos in mplayer is generally just weird because of seeking, should it be 
total time played or until a certain time. anyway, doing it for bytes is 
really useless, you can't do it like you can do in mencoder, and in 
mencoder it makes sense - it's bytes WRITTEN, not bytes read, there's no 
such thin as bytes written in mencoder. if you insist you want it, the way 
you'd do it is by comparing to sh_video->timer (see video_read_frame() in 
mplayer.c:2400), but i wouldn't really trust it.
