Useful in cases where a significant analyzeduration is
still needed, while minimizing buffering before output.

An example is processing low-latency streams where all
media types won't necessarily come in if the
analyzeduration is small.

Updated against latest libav, adjusted naming, set
the nobuffer flag to 0x0040, clarified commit message.
