[Cin] Mixer Align: for audio tracks only (and more issues)

[Phyllis Smith]

*Hoping Andrea or Igor would have an intelligent answer to this rather than
my unintelligent response.*

I have recordings from Rode Wireless Go II wireless microphones. They do

*When the mixer code was written, we did not even think about doing audio.
It would be a nice enhancemen*t.

*The dump keeps referring to "*
*futex_abstimed_wait_common.../lib64/libc.so.6" so I think that is the
problem but not sure what it even means.  Maybe Andrew has a hint.*
