after thinking about this again a little i think i am strongly in favor
of a single pts and single ptr per syncpoint and nothing more complicated

with index: optimal seeking
without index: seeking to a point which has a keyframe in every stream
prior to the user specified timestamp

so even witout an index you can do exact seeking, and normal use of
video+audio+subtitle files will be fine, only the case where you
want very quick and exact seeking to a subset of streams will not
work as well as with the more complicated cases but i really think
that simplicity and overhead of the format is more important then
that
