Yes the audio question is solved. I've learned how to use [0:a] instead 
of [0:1] or leaving it blank.

Oh no. None of my replies went to the list...
I just hit reply and forgot to check that field.
That was not my intention.

When Paul said it shouldn't work, I replied:
When I started with one filter-complex, I could not guess how to get it 
working, and splitting the audio out to be separate actually solved it, 
and it worked, on the older version of ffmpeg.

This month long video project has finally finished getting rendered and
