I implemented something like this overriding the dp->flags variable to be
where in the buffer I am, since I don't know what the flags are for and
weren't using them for anything else.  If it turns out this is what
dp->pos is for, I can change it, but the comment in the header file seems
to make me think that I was right about dp->pos:
  off_t pos;  // position in index (AVI) or file (MPG)
