Agree. All demuxer apis should also have a way to query and seek to
byte positions (or nearest keyframe before a byte position, etc.).
Not only would that be useful for resume, but also for seeking in
formats where timestamp-based seeking does not yet work well.

(No, -sb does not do this, it just truncates the beginning of the file
at the stream layer which fails for 99% of container formats.)
