[FFmpeg-user] multiple readrate

Hi,

does anyone know if it makes sense to use the -readrate option for each 
input file or is it enough to use it only once.

For example, if I have a video and a webvtt file:

      ffmpeg -readrate 1 -i video.mp4 -readrate 1 -i subtitle.vtt ...

For a single file I don't see any difference, but what if I sometimes 
use -ss or -t option and write many files into a single m3u8/ts stream?

Have a good day!

Jonathan
