Quoting specs:
"Flags

The flags are stored in Least Significant Byte (LSB) order.

Broadcast Flag (bit 0)

Specifies, if set, that a file is in the process of being created (for
example, for recording applications), and thus that various values
stored in the header objects are invalid. It is highly recommended that
post-processing be performed to remove this condition at the earliest
opportunity.

Seekable Flag (bit 1)

Specifies, if set, that a file is seekable. Note that for files
containing a single audio stream and a Minimum Data Packet Size field
equal to the Maximum Data Packet Size field, this flag shall always be
set to 1. For files containing a single audio stream and a video stream
or mutually exclusive video streams, this flag is only set to 1 if the
file contains a matching Simple Index Object for each regular video
stream (that is, video streams that are not hidden according to the
method described in section 8.2.2)."

It seems that we are always setting "Seekable flag":
put_le32(pb, (asf->is_streamed || url_is_streamed(pb)) ? 3 : 2); /* ??? */
