Bleh. :)
Cmon, it's NUT, it's been left open for 3 years now, don't you think it's 
time we finished it :)


I vote for either of these 2 options now:

1. do the pts and back_ptr per stream in syncpoints. I want to AT LEAST try 
   this out and really see how much overhead it is, and I'd like you guys 
   to try to think up way to reduce overhead for it.
2. Give it all up, go back to single back_ptr and no linear search what so 
   ever. This has the advantage of being already implemented in libnut. :)


I'm now gonna finally check how much overhead this idea takes.
