Hi,

I hope this example makes it more clear:

The TV channel broadcasted news at 20:00 and started with a movie at ~20:15. 
The recorded .ts file starts at ~20:05 so the beginning isn't missed.
During the news, audio channel #0:3 is stereo, when the movie starts it 
switches to 5.1.


When I play the file in mpv with the corresponding channel selected and skip to 
just before the movie starts, audio is silent for a split second and mpv prints 
"Invalid audio PTS: 514.912589 -> 515.065922" to the terminal. Therefore, I 
assume that the 5.1 audio starts at ~515 (seconds) and it would be cool to be 
able to get this timestamp with ffmpeg so I wouldn't have to manually seek the 
recorded video with a player beforehand.

The example was meant to prove that cutting a part out of the movie (or 
whatever it is), actually shows that we have a 5.1 channel stream here. My 
intention is to find out when exactly this stream changes from stereo to 5.1 to 
make a cut there with ffmpeg, if possible.

Matt
