Looking through the code, it seems to me that it will only fall back to
bisection search if it can't find an index. So we have two options:
0) Keep the current code, if the user is streaming a file not really suitable
for it then a lot of seeks will happen if the user 
     wants to seek..
1) Fail the seek and/or flag the file as not seekable when there is no index
and we've got SEQUENTIAL scheduling mode.


I'm not sure what's better here, i'm leaning towards 0.. Streaming files that
are bad for streaming will result in a bad experience, news at 11 ?
