This is one of the limitations of a streaming write. As I look at the code of the MP3Parser, I _think_ it would be trivial to write the metadata before writing any content, and it wouldn't get in the way of a streaming parse because the parser reads the whole file and caches the content as it goes -- only writing once it has finished reading the file.
IIRC some of the metadata is only known once all parsing is finished, eg the audio duration, which may be why it's currently done as it is
