Hi James, hi Anton,

it seems we've got a bit stuck on this issue, so I would like to 
remind that I'm in no way insisting on a certain way for getting
at the required information. This patch was just suggesting one
possible way, but what I wouldn't find acceptable is when you'd 
want to say that there's no acceptable way at all.

The requirements are simple and clear:

- to get the results of the avformat_find_stream_info() run
- without repeating or replicating this procedure in ffprobe
  and without performing additional decoding in ffprobe

I'm pretty sure that when any of you had these requirements
as part of your own work, you would figure out a way to do
it while adhering to them.
As such it would be nice when you would be able to make
a suggestion for resolving this. 

Also, let's not forget that this is not a private requirement
that I have. It's about ffprobe. And its output with regard
to closed captions is currently wrong.

Thanks and kind regards,
softworkz
