This is correct. these options need to be set trough the Stream Output 
dialog and not by the preferences.
I think under Linux only the wxWindows interface (compile and install 
wxGTK or wxPython ) has these as of the moment.
(so not the kde, gnome, e.a.)

But you can also use the commandline options though. Look at the 
Streaming Documentation here http://www.videolan.org/doc

BeOS, Win32 and MacOSX should have them as well.
