Frankly, your attitude of breathlessly repeating "ffprobe is BROKEN, and
this is HORRIBLE" is unhelpful.
I am open to various kinds of solutions, which include (temporarily?)
reintroducing previous behavior, but first we must determine what the
actual issue is. I.e. whether it is libavcodec or ffprobe that is
broken. You seem uninterested in this question, which makes me not very
interested in spending time on this.
