ThePendulum 76b5f827be Fix clap detection silently analyzing the wrong audio track
Root cause of the reported 'timestamps off by different amounts,
sometimes early, sometimes late' bug: _extract_audio_wav() never
passed an explicit -map to ffmpeg, so on multi-audio-track files it
relied on ffmpeg's own default-stream heuristic -- which has no
knowledge of, and isn't guaranteed to agree with, whichever audio
track mpv is actually configured to play. A wrong-track clap is
essentially unrelated to the true one (not a small timestamp-math
error), which explains the inconsistent, file-dependent symptom --
and our single-audio-track synthetic fixtures never exercised this
path at all, since they only ever had one track to pick.

Fixed by threading an explicit ffmpeg stream index through
detect_claps() -> _extract_audio_wav(), sourced in main.py from mpv's
own track-list (the ff-index of whichever audio track has
selected=True). Detection now always analyzes the exact track the
user is listening to, on both 'Detect All' and 'Detect Next'.

Also: _probe_audio_start_time() used to silently fall back to 0.0 if
ffprobe couldn't parse start_time as a plain float (e.g. N/A) -- same
failure class (silently wrong instead of loud). Now emits a Python
warning instead, so a genuinely unparseable/unusual container is at
least visible rather than silently mis-corrected.

Verified two ways: (1) ruled out an initial alternate hypothesis
(video stream's own start_time mattering) empirically against the
existing single-track fixtures before ruling it out. (2) Built a new
two-audio-track fixture (sync_test_MULTITRACK.mp4: track 1 has a beep
at 3s, track 2 at 7s) and confirmed end-to-end through the real app --
switching mpv's active track from aid=1 to aid=2 correctly flips which
clap gets detected, which is exactly the mechanism this bug required.

# Synthetic test clips
Generated with ffmpeg (see git history / commit for exact commands). Ground truth for
validating marker capture, offset math, and lossless export.
- `sync_test_INSYNC.mp4` — 10s, 640x480 @30fps, black video with a 33ms white flash
at t=5.000s; near-silent 1kHz tone that jumps to full volume for the same 33ms
window at t=5.000s. Video and audio events are aligned (offset = 0ms).
- `sync_test_OUTOFSYNC_audio+350ms.mp4` — same content, but the audio track has
been shifted +350ms later relative to video (via `-itsoffset 0.350` on the audio
input, stream-copied). The flash event stays at video t=5.000s; the beep event
now appears at t=5.350s. Exercises the negative-delay_ms / "delay video" branch
in ffmpeg_export.py.
- `sync_test_OUTOFSYNC_video+350ms.mp4` — same content, but the *video* track has
been shifted +350ms later instead (via `-itsoffset 0.350` on the video input).
The beep stays at audio t=5.000s; the flash now appears at t=5.350s. Exercises
the positive-delay_ms / "delay audio" branch in ffmpeg_export.py.
**Ground truth for the app's marker/offset workflow:**
- Mark Video at the flash → ~5.000s
- Mark Audio at the beep → ~5.350s
- Expected computed `delay_ms` = (video_mark - audio_mark) * 1000 = **-350**
(audio is already the *late* one here, so the fix is to delay the video by
350ms to catch up to it -- not to delay the audio further. Negative
delay_ms → offset the video input, per sync_logic.py's sign convention.)
- Exporting `sync_test_OUTOFSYNC_audio+350ms.mp4` with delay_ms = -350 should
land both events at t=5.350s in the output (not back at 5.000s -- the
absolute timeline shifts, only the *relative* sync matters).
Frame at exactly t=5.000s is frame index 150 (30fps) — useful for checking
frame-step precision lands exactly on it.
- `sync_test_MULTITRACK.mp4` — 10s, blue video, two AAC audio tracks: track
index 1 (default) has a beep at t=3.000s, track index 2 (not default) has
a beep at t=7.000s. Used to verify clap detection follows whichever audio
track mpv is actually playing (its `ff-index`), not whichever one
ffmpeg's own default-stream selection would pick -- see
scripts/smoke_test_multitrack_clap_detection.py.
