hmm, do u say that there are streams which have skiped MBs / skiped slices in 
I frames? the syntax would allow that but i thought thats not allowed in the 
standard or did u mean I field pictures, for these 2 are needed and the 
second could even be a P field picture ...

btw, mplayer should call AVCodec.flush() before seeking to avoid trashed B 
frames, as the "future" refrence frame is wrong immediately after seeking
I0 P2 B1 I4 B3
no seeking:	I0, I0->P2, I0->B1<-P2, I4, P2->B3<-I4
seeking:	I0, seek, I4, I0->B3<-I4
