No, that's actually the case. Each EBML element starts with an ID and
its size. The size is always the size including all of the element's
children -- e.g. a cluster's size also covers all of the blocks inside
that cluster.

What I meant was that there is no index pointing exactly to each and
every audio/video/subtitle track. There's only an index pointing to the
clusters.

Mosu
