The source positions reported by SyncTeX are quite imprecise (one could say they suck :P).

Once we have a located the candidate lines (a mapping from a range of lines to a range of pages), we could use a sequence alignment algorithm to find a fine-grained mapping from source code characters to DVI characters.
