You can't simply use -codec copy to get SCTE-35 from the source to the
destination.  The PMT has to be properly set up in the output stream
and the SCTE-35 sections themselves have to be re-written to take into
account changes in the PTS clock.

I've got a tree at the following URL which allows SCTE-35 to be
preserved across ffmpeg transcoding in the case where the input and
output are MPEG-TS (should work fine with UDP or SRT inputs/outputs).
Supporting FLV/RTMP is a whole different problem that this patch
series doesn't attempt to address.
