I disagree. This behavior is extremely annoying if you're playing
multiple files or something. Ending the current file is the sensible
behavior when there is no "next chapter".

There used to be (still are?) some demuxers that would misbehave like
this when trying to seek past the end of the file and it was really
counter-intuitive and annoying, IMO.
