It can not, and this has NOTHING to do with the current discussion.
Non-blocking mode requires the demuxer to be able to stop at ANY position in
the octet stream, it is very hard to achieve.

What was evoked here was a low-latency mode, where the demuxer returns as
soon as CONVENIENTLY possible.

I am not familiar enough with the Matroska demuxer, which seems rather
convoluted, to tell how it could be changed.

I am not trying to add millions of special-cases, just one. Since you
pretend you are not making a "slippery slope" fallacy, explain what these
millions are about.
