Each muxer has a list of flags; those relevant to encoders are conveyed 
by ffmpeg to that encoder.

The fifo muxer isn't a muxer per-se but an intermediary layer dressed up 
as a muxer. It won't necessarily share the relevant flags with the child 
muxer, so they have to be manually set by the user.
