-segment_list_size triggers some content to be written to the
test.m3u8 file - not very useful though, basically the same as
$ ls -1 *.ts > test.m3u8
But the manual says so, so I guess I cannot complain, and have to
look for a "real" segmenter, or experiment with creating an m3u8
myself.

Thanks anyway.
