Default duration or the block duration.

Imho, if the information is in the encoded packet then it depends on the
codec, if the information comes from the container then it shall be
added by the demux. Naturally if the container gives me the duration I
will put it in the block, but if there isn't any what bothers you in the
fact it's handled by the codec? Seriously I'm reluctant to have to link
the demux to libopus just for that.

Not necessarily known at the demux level using the demux formalism.
Which is my issue.
