What's actually a new problem here ?

AFAIK, this situation has always been around and never been a problem.
In particular, flacenc ! oggmux worked and so did flacenc ! filesink.

If something has changed due to GstCollectPads2 then it would suffice to tweak
it to handle this "properly" (as before).

W.r.t. to approach above; not sure whether seeking in TIME to 0 will have
filesink seeking to 0 in bytes.  Also, need to avoid having this rewritten
header data ending up in a muxed format.

So, another hack might be; send a 0 BYTE based segment at start (i.e. early
on);
if that is handled (returns TRUE) then assume a filesink situation, otherwise
assume muxer based situation (and then maybe also pass along more TIME
newsegment stuff than is done currently).
