Thanks for your suggestions, but tweaking the player/NLE side is not an
option in this case, since there is more material with these properties
expected to be recorded and archived.

For the NLEs used, I think this is not even possible (proprietary).

Therefore I would rather fix/normalize the files - in a lossless way. So
at least the audio of these files behaves okay.
Possible videostream errors are a different subject :)


So far, transcoding the mixed-audio to pcm_s16le in a non-TS container
seems to work as expected.

Thanks again!
