When an error happens, the Matroska demuxer tries to resync to level 1 elements from an earlier position onwards. If the seek to said earlier position fails, the demuxer currently treats this as an unrecoverable error. And that behaviour is suboptimal as said failure is nothing unrecoverable or unexpected (when the input isn't seekable). It is preferable to simply resync from the earliest position available (i.e. the start of the AVIOContext's buffer) onwards if the seek failed. Here are some scenarios that might be treated as unrecoverable errors by the current code if the input isn't seekable. They all have in common that the current position is so far away from the desired position that the seek can't be fulfilled from the AVIOContext's buffer: 1. Blocks (both SimpleBlocks as well as a Block in a BlockGroup) for which reading them as binary EBML elements succeeds, but whose parsing triggers an error (e.g. an invalid TrackNumber). In this case the earlier position from which resyncing begins is at the start of the block (or even earlier). 2. BlockGroups, whose parsing fails in one of the latter elements. Just as in 1., the start of the BlockGroup (the target of the seek) might be so far away from the current position that it is no longer in the buffer. 3. At the beginning of parsing a cluster, the cluster is parsed until a SimpleBlock or a BlockGroup is encountered. So if the input is damaged between the beginning of the cluster and the first occurrence of a SimpleBlock/BlockGroup and if said damage makes the demuxer read/skip so much data that the beginning of the cluster is no longer in the buffer, demuxing will currently fail completely.
