SOR was my idea. IMHO there's no way you can have any sane sense of
the dts for the first decode_delay frames after a break due to EOR,
unless you have something like SOR to initialize the dts buffer to
something sane (other than -1 -1 ...).

If you want dts to be meaningful rather than just a pointless
numbering, EOR without SOR is quite harmful to that goal..

I'm against index repetition since there's no reliable way to find the
repeated index, and since the index is 100% redundant data anyway. If
the index is missing, index for all the parts of the file that are
intact can be reconstructed easily. Oded's demuxer implementation
auto-builds the full index in memory as part of its binary search
process.

Agree!
