A general superpowered UI framework is the primary purpose of a browser, I don't see why it ever needed a second UI framework just for the chrome. Maybe HTML/CSS just wasn't up to snuff at the time.

I'm pretty sure that it's a bash-completion feature / "fault".
No command is really executed while your are typing in a terminal until you press "enter".
You should take a look at Gstreamer, it has all the bells, whistles and codecs of ffmpeg (it integrates ffmpeg directly as a plugin). It's designed around the concept of graph pipelines and command line interface it's a little more verbose that ffmpeg's but more easy to understand.
