The muxer prebuffers packets until each stream has been seen so a proper header
can be written.  However if mencoder inserts "repeat last frame" chunks with
len == 0 before the encoder is configured and first real frame is output or a
broken file starts a stream with such frames, then muxer won't find needed
info for writing initial header.
