Note that a stream can begin with any arbitrary offset (e.g., a live
stream that was joined part-way through), not merely 0 or 1. The actual
difference between 0 and 1 for normal, complete streams, however, is
determined by the subminor version field in the info header, and relates
to how a timestamp is computed from a granule position. You must respect
this version field if you are going to accurately synchronize multiple
streams, regardless of what the granule position of the first frame is.
