There is a latency problem: when playing from network or from a slow media,
we do not want to delay for no good reason, and a player does not need to
know the end timestamp of a subtitle to start displaying it, and even less
to ignore it.

Possible solution: if the format requires the duration/end_time and it is
not provided, then let the muxer queue the packets before output. And
_optionally_ do the same in the demuxer if the format does not provide them.
