Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 Cigaes]:
 > AFAICS, the output of ffprobe goes to stdout. The licence boilerplate
 and input format dump are to stderr, but they are not meant to be
 parseable.

 Closing as WONTFIX, for the exact reason explained above (parsing output
 which is not meant to be parseable defeats the whole design purpose of
 ffprobe).
