I agree, but it would be a cheap hack to make it work with MEncoder's
broken design.

In MPlayer/MEncoder? IMO it's at least as hard as it looks and
possibly much harder. :( The current demuxer/timestamp architecture is
horribly wrong. But then again you always have brilliant solutions
that make hard problems seem simple (except for the NUT thing which
seems to have no solution... >_<) so why not give it a try?
