Which you can't know unless you try on http for example. Or the
file may have been cut in half for some odd reason, so the point
you seek to is not available.

If the point is not available, lavf should not keep on going as
if it succeded in seeking to that point and just read garbage.

So i really really thing all attempts to seek should be checked,
and bail out in some controlled manner. It may be possible to
continue in some other fashion.
