there are so-called NAV sectors containing navigation info, including
where-to-jump-for-angle-X, it's used to re-sync to the right angle after
seeking. but i've implemented it blindly, without having any docs, having
a very buggy and incomplete libdvdread, and no multiangle disks...
so it may be, better: probably buggy, but i cannot fix it, sorry
