[Libav-user] Muxing sparse media streams

[Kam]

I'm having the same issue.  I have a rtsp/ts stream that has video, and
closes and reopens the audio stream when the far end has audio (or
doesn't).  I put all the audio into one track in a .mov container, but all
the players are ignoring the 'holes'.

Is there an easy way to insert silent frames when there is no audio?  I
would probably need some timers to check if no audio came in for some time
and then insert raw silent frames into the file.

I figured one hack might be to add a silent audio track as track 0 that
spans the whole video?  Any easy way to do that?
