It is not possible in the general case to incrementally produce a
specification-compliant byte stream which represents the result of compositing
media data from multiple independent streams into a source buffer. (For
instance, a single ISO BMFF stream cannot contain multiple 'moov' atoms, and
therefore cannot be updated with new codec descriptions or timescales on the
fly.)

As a result, implementations cannot produce a decodeable media stream by simply
tweaking incoming media segments in place. Therefore, no implementation should
be limited in its representation of timecodes by the format of the incoming
byte stream.
