manpage: backward encoding actually appears to work
The way backward playback is implemented doesn't break basic assumptions about timestamps after the decoder, so I guess all the encoding mode needs to do is to adjust for the start offset, which it already does. Though I might be wrong and my test was possibly flawed. Stream recording on the other hand will fail immediately with --record-file, and --stream-record will probably yield unexpected results if any backstep seeks are done.
