Hello all,

By default, ffmpeg will pick the "best" audio and video streams if the user 
doesn’t explicitly indicate such using the “-map” argument.  However it 
completely ignores which programs streams are a part of, which can lead to 
cases where the video is picked from one program and the audio is from a 
completely different program.

Is this something anyone is actively looking into?  If not, I'll dig into it 
and see about respecting program membership in ffmpeg's selection algorithm.  
My larger concern is that with MPEG-TS streams, the commonly accepted heuristic 
is to play the first audio/video streams in the first PMT entry (this is what 
VLC does for example), rather than trying to pick the "best quality" streams, 
and it's not clear whether such a change in the selection algorithm would be 
accepted upstream (since it would make selection of audio/video in MPEG-TS 
streams behave differently than other formats).

Thoughts?

Devin
