This case is allowed to "fail", since it's impossible to mux it in a
way that's playable (in a sane sense of playable :). NUT can't be
expected to work miracles and make the impossible possible. It just
needs to avoid breaking the cases that should be possible.

To those who don't see the problem here, we have a frame dependency
across a huge interval. This will always cause seeking problems, no
matter what sort of container you use...
