Yeah, but may be in this special case there will be way to use this
specific filter .... Something to look into when it lands in ffmpeg.git

Thanks, it seems internal representation of relations between audio and
video quite richer in thiscase.

Yeah, here cingg while better than cincv still lacking ...

Well, at least having some additional pair of eyes or more than pair
looking at our code with experience will be nice to have ....

I guess this just requires modifications in many places (because you want
your actions to depend in various ways on type of bin/folder you select
..…?)

But may be Einar (cc)  can hack on some of those topics in his experimental
