Hi Rather than continue the RFC thread for this, I decided to submit a patch that begins the process of documenting metadata keys. There's quite a lot of keys used in the codebase, and this patch does not cover all of them. But it should give the general idea. I follow a similar approach to that used by ffmpeg -codecs to try and keep the number of columns sane. One issue I discovered is that pod2man does not seem to support @multitable very well, and @headitem causes it to fail outright. Not sure what to do about that. This issue exists with other @multitable in the documentation. See "man doc/ffmpeg-all.1" and search for "Audio Codecs" Anyway, thoughts on this? /Tomas
