avf: introduce nobuffer option

Useful in cases where a significant analyzeduration is still needed, while minimizing buffering before output. An example is processing low-latency streams where all media types won't necessarily come in if the analyzeduration is small. Additional changes by Josh Allmann <joshua.allmann@gmail.com>
