This is a per-file input option that adjusts an input's timestamps
with reference to another input, so that emitted packet timestamps
account for the difference between the start times of the two inputs.

Typical use case is to sync two or more live inputs such as from capture devices. Both the target and reference input source timestamps should be
based on the same clock source.
If both streams are using the same clock, then why is any extra
synchronization needed?
Because ffmpeg.c normalizes timestamps by default. We can keep
timestamps using -copyts, but these inputs are usually preprocessed
using single-input filters which won't have access to the reference
inputs,
No idea what you mean by "reference inputs" here.

The reference input is the one the target is being synced against. e.g. in a karaoke session -  the music track from a DAW would be ref and the user's voice via mic is the target.

or the merge filters like e.g. amix don't sync by timestamp.
amix does seem to look at timestamps.

amix does not *sync* by timestamp. If one input starts at 4 and the other at 7, the 2nd isn't aligned by timestamp.

If any further comments or objections, let me know.

Plan to push set tonight. The first patch isn't crucial. I can adapt to push the 2nd without the first. But ideally both.

Gyan
