the synatx allows it for non audio streams, but its forbidden

hmm, the stream headers should only need to be repeated every 10sec so 1 more 
byte would be 0.1 byte/sec thats insignificant

btw, IMHO the repeat headers before keyframes rule, should be removed, it 
could easily mean +100mbyte/hour in some cases (for example some codec which 
has global headers and are intra only (huffyuv,vorbis,...))
