It works for all y4m files I see in the wild, but the problem is that the
y4m spec is a little confusing. The frame header magic is "FRAME", followed
by optional per-frame options, and then a "\n". This is always empty (i.e.
"FRAME\n"), but in theory it could be non-empty and then this doesn't work.

I don't know how much we care about such theoretical files to make a more
difficult dur/seek implementation.
