[ogg-dev] option to push "duplicate frame" packet to oggmux

[Alexey Fisher]

Hallo all,

I started this discussion today on gstreamer.irc and ogg-dev list. So
there seems to be different results. Probably i need to fill a bug on
gstreamer...

here was my question to ogg-dev

My question to gstreamer devs: are there really no way do it? should i
fill bag report?
