 The issue was introduced since 09ae7b81ea. It may slow down seeking in
 online streams.

 In flvdec.c 420
 case AMF_DATA_TYPE_OBJECT:
     if ((vstream || astream) && key &&
         ioc->seekable &&
         !strcmp(KEYFRAMES_TAG, key) && depth == 1)
         if (parse_keyframes_index(s, ioc, vstream ? vstream : astream,
                                   max_pos) < 0)

 If the first packet we got is object, both vstream and astream are NULL,
 which may prevent keyframe index being parsed.

 Eg. [meta:keyframe index]-[a]-[v]-[a]-[v]

 I have sent a patch to ML
 `avformat/fivdec: cached keyframes before video or audio stream was
 created`
