Why? Even if the output is unseekable, the seek to the beginning might
succeed if it happens in the output buffer (unlikely but possible). Or
do you have a specific usecase in mind where the segment should be
unknown-length?

In most cases in the muxer, we are checking if the file support seeking
before writing some ebml, like we do for the cues in the trailer function.
It is true that in some cases, the offset will be in the output buffer,
then why not as well check it for cues?
but most of the time, this offset  will  not when we are in streaming more.

Maybe the aviobuf layer should not then call io_seek if the under
layer has is_streamed
= true?

Because in order to write cues, one would have to store them first and
we don't do that given that it is very unlikely for the cues to be
used later.
Furthermore, in the other cases (e.g. the Info element): These are
already written and freed when writing the header if the output is
unseekable (or actually: if the output was unseekable during writing
the header; the logic is wrong if the output's seekability status
changes and dangerous if it was unseekable when writing the header and
changes to seekable later; I'll send a patch for this).

First of all, the aviobuf layer doesn't call io_seek() any more
because it has been removed in 6e8e8431. And does it matter from which
layer the error for a failed seek comes if the seek was unsuccessfull?
(Furthermore, there is (at least?) an instance where the is_streamed
is wrong: Namely if you use the seekable option for file output. But
that seems to be intentional.)

We have some code to check if ffmpeg was calling seek for some streamable
url or not and found this one.
what about this: not only check for the seek function to be present (which
will true for file.c) but check if it is seekable?
