I am not very familiar with the interaction between the 
packets/parsers/demuxers. Does this mean it's not possible to create the 
index 'after' the parser "kicks in"?

I think we can detect existence of slices before the parsing stage, if 
the start code is between 0x01-0xAF. But on the same level, 0xB8 is the 
GOP start code, and it should be signaling us the keyframe. Or am I 
totally wrong on this?

Excuse me for my illiterateness on Mpeg Headers if thats too stupid a 
question.

All the best,
t.
