Quick question about eac3to and audio delay in Matroska files: The other day I ripped a DVD and then muxed it directly to Matroska without re-encoding, planning to encode it later. I checked the audio delay with DGIndex before muxing and applied the proper delay at mux. eac3to, when run without any options against the Matroska file, reports the audio delay as -301 ms. This sounds like too much of a delay, but off hand I can't remember what the audio delay reported by DGIndex was. Does anyone know how accurate eac3to's parsing of matroska delay values is?

Eduit: Mkvinfo -v shows that the audio starts 16ms after the video, which jogs my memory and I think was the delay I applied at muxing. What's going on here?
