I'm inclined to agree, I think it should work for most basic types using controls for forward/rewind and optionally only looking at a subset of the data.
A potential problem with visualizing more complex structures may be that people's mental representations for them probably differ, making it really hard to offer a visualization that maps to each person's mental model of each specific (complex) data structure.
What do you mean by: "There are also controls you can't see that make hierarchically navigating from groups of data structures to single data structures to single elements, easy."?
I'm happy we came across then! I find this type of visualiation to be intriguing, and I may give it a stab in the future.

We should definitely keep in touch.
