Hmm, as a write protocol would be interesting, but I'm not sure if it's 
feasible. I guess the mpegts muxer outputs "headers" (whatever that's 
called in mpegts terminology) regularly? Ideally, when cutting segments, 
new headers would be output at the start of each segment, to ease starting 
decoding from that point (which the segmenter above doesn't do, iirc). Is 
there a convenient way to trigger emission of such headers at a certain 
point?
