If I understand it correctly, I think this will be handled quite smoothy 
- you don't have to kill the blocked write, the application has to call 
write_trailer anyway before closing the muxer, so I guess this is the 
place where tee will wait for the muxer's pending write operation to 
finish. So application will know, that after call to write_trailer all 
operations are finished.
