yes, this is ignore the initial_offset option, because set the
output_ts_offset and initial_offset can modify the value
start_time,start_pts =  output_ts_offset + initial_pts, the total value
maybe not user want.

now, user set output_ts_offset is not same initial_offset, but use this
patch can change the result,
the output_ts_offset can set the start_pts,start_time , and replace the
initial_offset, tested by amans.
ffmpeg's option is not same with segment option,  is this your mean?

yes, the option initial_offset is for segment, developer use libavformat to
set the segment option, this option is useful.

with one more option is not bad, but if the output_ts_offset can do the
initial_offset's work,
why add more options to user?
of course, if for the api user, maybe this is a good idea, because the
option is set by ffmpeg.
amans patch can merged :-)

That need deep test by users. but i think it's the same result.
that a good option output_ts_offset, it can be a general initial_offset for
all the muxers.
