This is unfortunate. We can't sync on the clock for muxers that operate in byte
formats (we could have if the seek would have happened with a seek event in
bytes).

Of course the muxer should send a bytes segment first before pushing buffers.
It should do this only when it wants to perform a seek later on. This also
tiggers the fact that any following element won't be able to sync, which is ok
since this would usually be done for sending the data over a network (like
UDP), which is pointless for formats that modify the header at the end.

I'm tempted to even always skip the sync code if the format is not TIME.
