[vlc-devel] [PATCH 23/30] mkv: skip decoding of blocks that are not necessary

[Filip Roséen]

Since the seeking algorithm(s) will set track.i_skip_until_fpos to a
value other than uint64_t( -1 ) (equivalent of the usage of
std::numeric_limits), we can ignore blocks with a lower file-position in
the Demuxer (and hence not send them to the decoder).

This will save us some time, while maintaining the proper state of the
relevant decoders.
