The 'reset' property must be setted to true just before dinamically linking
the encoder tail or after linking it?
Is it possible to record various segments in the same file using this
method?
I mean, for the first segment you set the base_time to 0, but if I want to
encode another segment in the same file, by unliking the encoding tail and
relinking it later, if I set the 'reset' property to TRUE this will reset
the base_time to 0 again, when it should be setted to the elapsed time of
the previous segment.
One last thing, if I pause the recording, by unlinking the encoding tail and
setting its state to PAUSED, how do I send an EOS event to the muxer (which
is not linked anymore) if I defenitively want to stop the recording?
