I discovered that bookmarks seem to stay valid after a rebuild. I've
to test to be sure. I don't know if commflagging uses the same
mechanism and what this further tells. To me it seems to imply that
the to short recording length comes from an incomplete seek table
build on recording, where the first part is correct and the second
part missing. Although the bookmark I'm talking about was then in the
missing part. (between the told end and the real end)
