+@item reserve_index_space
+By default, this muxer writes the index for seeking (called cues in Matroska
+terms) at the end of the file, because it cannot know in advance how much space
+to leave for the index at the beginning of the file. However for some use cases
+-- e.g. streaming where seeking is possible but slow -- it is useful to put the
+index at the beginning of the file.
+
+If this option is set to a non-zero value, the muxer will reserve a given amount
+of space in the file header and then try to write the cues there when the muxing
+finishes. If the available space does not suffice, muxing will fail. A safe size
+for most use cases should be about 50kB per hour of video.
+
+Note that cues are only written if the output is seekable and this option will
+have no effect if it is not.

+@section mp3
+
+The MP3 muxer writes a raw MP3 stream with an ID3v2 header at the beginning and
+optionally an ID3v1 tag at the end. ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 are supported, the
+@code{id3v2_version} option controls which one is used. Setting
+@code{id3v2_version} to 0 will disable the ID3v2 header completely. The legacy
+ID3v1 tag is not written by default, but may be enabled with the
+@code{write_id3v1} option.
+
+The muxer may also write a Xing frame at the beginning, which contains the
+number of frames in the file. It is useful for computing duration of VBR files.
+The Xing frame is written if the output stream is seekable and if the
+@code{write_xing} option is set to 1 (the default).
+
+The muxer supports writing ID3v2 attached pictures (APIC frames). The pictures
+are supplied to the muxer in form of a video stream with a single packet. There
+can be any number of those streams, each will correspond to a single APIC frame.
+The stream metadata tags @var{title} and @var{comment} map to APIC
+@var{description} and @var{picture type} respectively. See
+@url{http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames} for allowed picture types.
+
+Note that the APIC frames must be written at the beginning, so the muxer will
+buffer the audio frames until it gets all the pictures. It is therefore advised
+to provide the pictures as soon as possible to avoid excessive buffering.
+
+Examples:
+
+Write an mp3 with an ID3v2.3 header and an ID3v1 footer:
+@example
+avconv -i INPUT -id3v2_version 3 -write_id3v1 1 out.mp3
