Comment (by heleppkes):

 AVFMT_FLAG_AUTO_BSF is set by default, so the internal mpegts muxer in the
 HLS muxer should have this flag set, and automatically use the BSF
 appropriately. There is no need to run it before the HLS muxer as far as I
 can tell.

 In fact, I just tried with Git master, and it works as expected.
