Using Indexes for Joining Segments

We have to consider how separate segments from different media can be combined using the index. This process needs extra information in the index header. Also, because the segments may come from arbitrary conferences the timestamps in the indexes may not allow for synchronisation. Therefore, some normalising process is required for all the timestamps within the joined segments.
