I'm not sure I understand your question.  You want to know how many
simultaneous sessions are on a volume by looking at the media records?

What kind of report do you think you want to see here?  It'd be pretty
easy to show the start and end points of each ssid, and you could even
show the number of ssids saved in each media file.  Perhaps that second
one is what you're interested in.

It might also be very instructive to see the number of bytes from each
stream in the media file.  Depending on the balancing, the number from
each stream could be very different.

I'm thinking perl, read the fragments, store a hash based on the volume
and file number, and record the ssids seen.  Then either report the
maximum ssids seen in a file, or sort the files and show the total ssids
seen in each one.
