I have tried it and it does NOT work. Which is obvious why, as the
duration of the AVStream is still invalid, because no start time is set
in libavformat/mp3.c

Is this intentional that AVStream->start_time is set to zero on most
other demuxers but not for mp2/3 ? If so, why? Since an mp2/mp3 file has
no timestamps of its own, a start time of 0 seems reasonable.
