my bad, this isn't a bug in qtdemux. Just a bad assumption in the segment-seek
tests.

The assumption is that if I do an accurate segment seek for [start:A, stop:B],
the resulting newsegment would have [start:A, stop:B, position:A]... which is
wrong.

The only thing that can be assumed is:
* newsegment.position WILL be equal to seek.start
* the sum of all the newsegments duration will be equal to ABS(seek.stop -
seek.start). (if there's only one, then ABS(newsegment.stop - newsegment.start)
== ABS(seek.stop - seek.start))

I was adding to that the (not always correct) assumptions that:
* newsegment.start would be equal to seek.start
* newsegment.stop would be equal to seek.stop

The two assumptions are correct for most demuxer/decoders... but with
quicktime's EDL system... it can be wrong.

closing this bug again. Sorry for the noise, better be sure than regret it
later :)
