This is what my proposal was. I did not yet have a chance to post it. But you can use a bit in the header to indicate the presence of the eventID. That way, you do not have to relate to the event attr->sample_type to determine how to parse the meta-data records such as MMAP. When the bit is present in the header, the eventID is to be found at -8 bytes form the end of the record.
