 * Search for the sync point of all active streams.

 * This routine is not supposed to be called directly by a user application,
 * but by demuxers.
 *
 * A sync point is defined as a point in stream, such that, when decoding start
 * from this point, the decoded output of all streams synchronizes closest
 * to the given timestamp ts. This routine also takes timestamp limits into account.
 * Thus, the output will synchronize no sooner than ts_min and no later than ts_max.
 *
 * @param stream_index stream index for time base reference of timestamps
 * @param pos          approximate position where to start searching for key frames
 * @param min_ts       minimum allowed timestamp (position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set)
 * @param ts           target timestamp (or position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set in flags)
 * @param max_ts       maximum allowed timestamp (position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set)
 * @param flags        if AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY is set, seek to any frame, otherwise only
 *                     to a keyframe. If AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE is set, search by
 *                     position, not by timestamp.
 * @return -1 if no such sync point could be found, otherwise stream position
 *                     (stream is repositioned to this position)
