We try to wait for the sequence start header as a proxy for waiting for the first I frame. The reason we want to wait for the first I frame is two fold: first ffmpeg used to crash the program when you didn't, second if you don't wait for the first I frame then you can get weird visual effects as partial P and B frames arrive before the first full frame.
