You're right. This was my first try. I will calculate in the -ss and -t 
values (if I find them in the source :-) but calculating from the muxer 
is not possible in my opinion. I have to write the header before I do 
the transcoding. It would be possible to seek at the end and fill in the 
stuff but only if the output is not a pipe. In my usage it is a pipe and 
because of that I have no use for a header if I can generate it only 
after the whole transcoding.
