Whenever the container is created as a file on disk, it can be optimized
afterwards. A tool could be written that reads a nut file and produces
another nut file with framecode table and timestamp deltas optimized
for that specific file. The only limitation is that the input file can
not be a pipe as it needs to be read twice.

The two-pass operation could also be an option in the muxer itself, but a
separate tool would be handier in some situations.
