Exactly.

A typical use case is when an application is feeding pieces of a certain
fragment to qtdemux. At some point, the user seeks to a far away unbuffered
area; then the application does not want to bother downloading and feeding the
rest of the old fragment to qtdemux: as soon as it has downloaded a piece of
the new fragment it will just .abort() (i.e. tell the demuxer "I don't care
about that old fragment anymore") and feed the new fragment.
