+| Accurate seek | **off when the video is copied, on when it is re-encoded.** Copied video has to begin on a keyframe and cannot be trimmed to the request; re-encoded audio can, and is. Leaving both at the default put a whole GOP of silence at the head of every seek and left sound and picture a GOP apart — with correct timestamps throughout, so nothing downstream could detect it |
| `start` in `stream_init` | the value actually used — seeking lands on the keyframe at or before the request, and the client adds it back as `SourceBuffer.timestampOffset` |
| `audio_tracks` in `stream_init` | every audio track: `i` (the **audio ordinal**, what `-map 0:a:<n>` takes, never the container stream index), `lang`, `title`, `codec`, `ch`. Empty for a file with no audio |
| `audio_track` in `stream_req` | which ordinal to map. Absent, out of range or malformed is the first track |
