First it's better if segment info and track info are before anything
else (apart from meta seek). Multiple meta seek is discouraged, and
even if used only one level of indirection is usually
admited/supported.

Now is there a reason you would not want all the attachment data in
one place in the file ? Anytime the player will want an attachment it
will need to parse a lot of data to find the one it wants...
