Quick feedback: I completely agree it is illusory to guarantee
sample-accuracy accross codecs, and never meant to imply such a
requirement.

The much weaker goal I would propose is to support at least one simple
lossless audio format in this regard (I am not qualified to comment on
the video case). Simple means 'simple to generate, simple to decode',
and PCM WAVE meets these requirements, so would be an obvious candidate.

For that candidate at least I think one could give sample-accurate
implementations of subinterval selection - tons of audio applications
demonstrate this is possible.
