Hi,
matroska files (bug #481070), mov/mp4 files (bug #540887), flac files (embedded
cuesheets) and probably others can contain more than one track or multiple
chapters and some way of specifying where a chapter starts and ends.

We need some generic support for this to be able to use these features from
applications. Maybe an interface that the elements can implement...

What needs to be supported is:
- Number of chapters/tracks
- Switching to chapter/track N
- Duration and other queries on every chapter/track

Can someone think of more things that should be supported?

If a chapter is contained in another file a redirect message could be sent to
the bus maybe...
