 index_ptr
-    Length in bytes from the first byte of the index startcode to the first
-    byte of the index_ptr. If there is no index, index_ptr MUST NOT be

+    startcode until the last byte of the checksum.
+    Note: A demuxer can use this to find the index when it is written at
+    EOF, as index_ptr will always be 12 bytes before the end of file if
+    there is an index at all.
