[FFmpeg-user] Audio filter: removesilence doesn't appear to do anything

[Quinn Wood]

Here is silencedetect as well.

This 20 minute sample has over 18 minutes of silence according to
silencedetect. However silenceremove removes absolutely nothing.
input.m4a was 20:00.03 and output.m4a was 20:00.07.
