-Mix channels with specific gain levels. The filter accepts the output
-channel layout followed by a set of channels definitions.

-"@var{l}:@var{outdef}:@var{outdef}:..."
+ at item end
+Timestamp (in seconds) of the first audio sample that will be dropped. I.e. the

+the last sample in the output.
- at table @option
- at item l
-output channel layout or number of channels
+ at item start_pts
+Same as @var{start}, except this option sets the start timestamp in samples
+instead of seconds.
- at item outdef
-output channel specification, of the form:
-"@var{out_name}=[@var{gain}*]@var{in_name}[+[@var{gain}*]@var{in_name}...]"
+ at item end_pts
+Same as @var{end}, except this option sets the end timestamp in samples instead
+of seconds.
- at item out_name
-output channel to define, either a channel name (FL, FR, etc.) or a channel
-number (c0, c1, etc.)
+ at item duration
+Maximum duration of the output in seconds.
- at item gain
-multiplicative coefficient for the channel, 1 leaving the volume unchanged
+ at item start_sample
+Number of the first sample that should be passed to output.
- at item in_name

-named and numbered input channels
+ at item end_sample

-If the `=' in a channel specification is replaced by `<', then the gains for
-that specification will be renormalized so that the total is 1, thus
-avoiding clipping noise.
+Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the @option{duration}
+option look at the frame timestamp, while the _sample options simply count the
+samples that pass through the filter. So start/end_pts and start/end_sample will
+give different results when the timestamps are wrong, inexact or do not start at
+zero. Also note that this filter does not modify the timestamps. If you wish
+that the output timestamps start at zero, insert the asetpts filter after the
+atrim filter.
- at subsection Mixing examples
+If multiple start or end options are set, this filter tries to be greedy and
+keep all samples that match at least one of the specified constraints. To keep
+only the part that matches all the constraints at once, chain multiple atrim
+filters.
-For example, if you want to down-mix from stereo to mono, but with a bigger
-factor for the left channel:
+The defaults are such that all the input is kept. So it is possible to set e.g.
+just the end values to keep everything before the specified time.
+
+Examples:
+ at itemize
+ at item
+drop everything except the second minute of input
@example
-pan=1:c0=0.9*c0+0.1*c1
+ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=60:120
@end example
-A customized down-mix to stereo that works automatically for 3-, 4-, 5- and

-pan=stereo: FL < FL + 0.5*FC + 0.6*BL + 0.6*SL : FR < FR + 0.5*FC + 0.6*BR + 0.6*SR
+ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=end_sample=1000

+This filter accepts the following named parameters:
+ at table @option
+ at item channel_layout
+Channel layout of the output stream.
+
+ at item map
+Map channels from input to output. The argument is a '|'-separated list of
+mappings, each in the @code{@var{in_channel}- at var{out_channel}} or
+ at var{in_channel} form. @var{in_channel} can be either the name of the input
+channel (e.g. FL for front left) or its index in the input channel layout.
+ at var{out_channel} is the name of the output channel or its index in the output
+channel layout. If @var{out_channel} is not given then it is implicitly an
+index, starting with zero and increasing by one for each mapping.
+ at end table
+
+If no mapping is present, the filter will implicitly map input channels to
+output channels preserving index.

+For example, assuming a 5.1+downmix input MOV file
@example
-silencedetect=n=-50dB:d=5

- at item compensate
-Enable stretching/squeezing the data to make it match the timestamps. Disabled
-by default. When disabled, time gaps are covered with silence.
+For example, assuming a stereo input MP3 file

-Default value 500.
+ at section earwax
- at item first_pts
-Assume the first pts should be this value. The time base is 1 / sample rate.
-This allows for padding/trimming at the start of stream. By default, no
-assumption is made about the first frame's expected pts, so no padding or
-trimming is done. For example, this could be set to 0 to pad the beginning with
-silence if an audio stream starts after the video stream or to trim any samples
-with a negative pts due to encoder delay.
+Make audio easier to listen to on headphones.
- at end table
+This filter adds `cues' to 44.1kHz stereo (i.e. audio CD format) audio
+so that when listened to on headphones the stereo image is moved from
+inside your head (standard for headphones) to outside and in front of
+the listener (standard for speakers).
- at section atrim
-Trim the input so that the output contains one continuous subpart of the input.
+Ported from SoX.

+ at section equalizer
+
+Apply a two-pole peaking equalisation (EQ) filter. With this
+filter, the signal-level at and around a selected frequency can
+be increased or decreased, whilst (unlike bandpass and bandreject
+filters) that at all other frequencies is unchanged.

-This filter accepts the following options:

+ at item frequency, f
+Set the filter's central frequency in Hz.
- at item end
-Timestamp (in seconds) of the first audio sample that will be dropped. I.e. the

+Beware of clipping when using a positive gain.
+ at end table
- at item duration
-Maximum duration of the output in seconds.
+ at section pan
+
+Mix channels with specific gain levels. The filter accepts the output
+channel layout followed by a set of channels definitions.
+
+This filter is also designed to remap efficiently the channels of an audio
+stream.
+

+"@var{l}:@var{outdef}:@var{outdef}:..."
+
+ at table @option
+ at item l
+output channel layout or number of channels
+
+ at item outdef
+output channel specification, of the form:
+"@var{out_name}=[@var{gain}*]@var{in_name}[+[@var{gain}*]@var{in_name}...]"
+
+ at item out_name
+output channel to define, either a channel name (FL, FR, etc.) or a channel
+number (c0, c1, etc.)
- at item start_sample
-Number of the first sample that should be passed to output.
+ at item gain
+multiplicative coefficient for the channel, 1 leaving the volume unchanged
- at item end_sample
-Number of the first sample that should be dropped.
+ at item in_name
+input channel to use, see out_name for details; it is not possible to mix
+named and numbered input channels
@end table
-Note that the first two sets of the start/end options and the @option{duration}
-option look at the frame timestamp, while the _sample options simply count the
-samples that pass through the filter. So start/end_pts and start/end_sample will
-give different results when the timestamps are wrong, inexact or do not start at
-zero. Also note that this filter does not modify the timestamps. If you wish
-that the output timestamps start at zero, insert the asetpts filter after the
-atrim filter.
-
-If multiple start or end options are set, this filter tries to be greedy and
-keep all samples that match at least one of the specified constraints. To keep
-only the part that matches all the constraints at once, chain multiple atrim
-filters.
+If the `=' in a channel specification is replaced by `<', then the gains for
+that specification will be renormalized so that the total is 1, thus
+avoiding clipping noise.
-The defaults are such that all the input is kept. So it is possible to set e.g.
-just the end values to keep everything before the specified time.
+ at subsection Mixing examples
-Examples:
- at itemize
- at item
-drop everything except the second minute of input
+For example, if you want to down-mix from stereo to mono, but with a bigger
+factor for the left channel:
@example
-ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=60:120
+pan=1:c0=0.9*c0+0.1*c1
@end example
- at item
-keep only the first 1000 samples
+A customized down-mix to stereo that works automatically for 3-, 4-, 5- and
+7-channels surround:
@example
-ffmpeg -i INPUT -af atrim=end_sample=1000
+pan=stereo: FL < FL + 0.5*FC + 0.6*BL + 0.6*SL : FR < FR + 0.5*FC + 0.6*BR + 0.6*SR
@end example
+Note that @command{ffmpeg} integrates a default down-mix (and up-mix) system
+that should be preferred (see "-ac" option) unless you have very specific
+needs.
+
+ at subsection Remapping examples
+
+The channel remapping will be effective if, and only if:
+
+ at itemize
+ at item gain coefficients are zeroes or ones,
+ at item only one input per channel output,
@end itemize
- at section channelsplit
-Split each channel in input audio stream into a separate output stream.
+If all these conditions are satisfied, the filter will notify the user ("Pure
+channel mapping detected"), and use an optimized and lossless method to do the
+remapping.
-This filter accepts the following named parameters:
- at table @option
- at item channel_layout
-Channel layout of the input stream. Default is "stereo".
- at end table
+For example, if you have a 5.1 source and want a stereo audio stream by
+dropping the extra channels:
+ at example
+pan="stereo: c0=FL : c1=FR"
+ at end example
-For example, assuming a stereo input MP3 file
+Given the same source, you can also switch front left and front right channels
+and keep the input channel layout:
@example
-ffmpeg -i in.mp3 -filter_complex channelsplit out.mkv
+pan="5.1: c0=c1 : c1=c0 : c2=c2 : c3=c3 : c4=c4 : c5=c5"
@end example
-will create an output Matroska file with two audio streams, one containing only
-the left channel and the other the right channel.
-To split a 5.1 WAV file into per-channel files
+If the input is a stereo audio stream, you can mute the front left channel (and
+still keep the stereo channel layout) with:
@example
-ffmpeg -i in.wav -filter_complex
-'channelsplit=channel_layout=5.1[FL][FR][FC][LFE][SL][SR]'
--map '[FL]' front_left.wav -map '[FR]' front_right.wav -map '[FC]'
