 Summary of the problem:
 ================

 First off, this might possibly be caused by incorrect usage, so apologies
 up front. However, after trying a plethora of different options and
 numerous web searches in an attempt to work around it I came up short. It
 might also fall into the category of 'unintended/unintuitive behaviour.' I
 am therefore setting the type to 'enhancement.'

 Basically, what I want to accomplish is to re-encode the video of an MKV
 file while normalizing the audio on one track to 0dBFS (using the volume
 audio filter set to the correct audio level) at the same time; while
 leaving other audio tracks in the file untouched (i.e, streamcopying them)

 Specifically, the file layout is as follows:

 Track ID 0: video (MPEG-4p10/AVC/h.264)  <- to be re-encoded with x264
 Track ID 1: audio (FLAC)                               <- to be
 volumeadjusted by +6.4dB
 Track ID 2: audio (DTS)                                 <- to be
 streamcopied to new file
 Track ID 3: audio (DTS)                                 <- to be
 streamcopied to new file
 Track ID 4: subtitles (HDMV PGS)                  <- to be streamcopied to
 new file
 Chapters: 12 entries


 How to reproduce:

 Process an MKV with multiple audio tracks, applying a filter to one audio
 track (with -af:a:0 <filter>) while attempting to streamcopy the others.
 This is causing FFmpeg to abort with the error message 'Filtering and
 streamcopy cannot be used together.' as it interprets the filter as being
 valid for all audio tracks.

 I've also tried to use '-filter_complex' (based on suggestions elsewhere),
 but to no avail.

 Filtergraph 'volume=+6.4dB' was defined for audio output stream 0:2 but
 codec copy was selected.
 Filtering and streamcopy cannot be used together.


 If more output (or a sample file) is needed–please let me know.

 btw. FFmpeg is a terrific piece of software (which I use daily), so don't
 take this as undue criticism!
