I'm not opposed to the change, but I'd like to hear Michael's
thoughts. Regarding buffering, I think it's fair to require the muxer
to buffer a single packet before writing it, just not a whole run of
packets. My main objection to buffering multiple packets is that it
precludes live streaming.

Anyway, I don't really care about info packets since I don't like
them, so do whatever you like with them. :)
