The "is-live" property is maybe not ideally named, since the muxer doesn't sync
against the clock. I understand it's been copied from asfmux, but maybe both
should be changed.

Ideally this property shouldn't be needed at all. The muxer should be able to
figure out whether downstream is seakable or streaming or whatever and then act
accordingly automatically. It should be possible to find out e.g. by checking
the return value of pushing a newsegment event in bytes (to make downstream
'seek'), and/or we should make sinks implement the SEEKING query, or implement
some other query.

If all that fails, maybe the property should be called "write-index" or so?
