In all likelihood, adding a set of ES output proxying callbacks would end up 
even more complicated than layering per-input "global" ES output and per-demux 
ES output. The master ES output would have to deal separately with the master 
demuxer on the one hand and with proxies on the other hand.

So that´s the worst of all options as far as I am concerned.


I also don´t see how that would solve the PCR problem. It´s quite normal for 
the slave PCR to lag behind the master PCR, so the proxy can´t just discard 
the slave PCR.
