So what would disabling that property mean? I think we could just remove it
from the element interface and treat is as always FALSE.

The consequences will be:

 * for non-seekable downstream a big, empty blob will be sent in the onMetadata
script tag, but the output will still be valid FLV, so that's not too bad
 * for live streaming the element will barf after G_MAXINT32 miliseconds (too
lazy to compute how much is that in days), but for the typical use case of
"create an FLV file" it's not a problem
 * for live streaming the element will keep building a keyframes index in
memory, which will constitute a small memory leak. Since live streaming wno't
work for very long anyway, that's also fine.

So I'm for just making all references to mux->is_live a constant FALSE (and
fixing it afterwards, of course).
