ogg, FLAC, mp3 are the audio formats provide sample accurate seeking.
asf doesn't work well yet, and I'm looking into it.

The requirements for generic index building that has sample accurate
seeking are to have a parser that sets avctx->frame_size correctly
(including to 0 for junk frames) as well as returns the correct offset
(often negative) when overreading into a buffer.
