pos and size seem very useful to me for an application that wants to
make quick graphs of (time, bitrate).

As a general rule "foobar does not seem useful for users" is usually a
lack of imagination from the developer.

Why do you want to complicate things? Just return the darn pointer and
trust the users to use it properly to access the fields they need,
without speculating.
