For audio and threading I do, just suffering from being audio-less myself
since upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy.

For non-FLV I kind of do but didn't really dig into capability of "fitness"
in current design. That is I'm not sure if FFMPEG is able to extract information
about frames in a stream w/out decoding them (timestamps, key/nonkey) etc.
This was one of the early questions I posed here (episode 1). Bastiaan stated
it should be possible IIRC.
