Sorry for the delay. Here is the patch; as you can see it is two and a half
years old. IIRC, it used to work with the output of "ffprobe -show_format
-show_streams -show_packets -show_data", provided the output was edited to
put the sections in the required order.

The benefit from using ffprobe instead of a custom format is to not have yet
another variant of text format.
