 @section null
 This bitstream filter passes the packets through unchanged.
 
+@section pcm_rechunk
+
+Repacketize PCM audio to a fixed number of samples per packet or a fixed packet
+rate per second. This is similar to the @ref{asetnsamples,,asetnsamples audio
+filter,ffmpeg-filters} but works on audio packets instead of audio frames.
+
+@table @option
+@item nb_out_samples, n
+Set the number of samples per each output audio packet. The number is intended
+as the number of samples @emph{per each channel}. Default value is 1024.
+
+@item pad, p
+If set to 1, the filter will pad the last audio packet with silence, so that it
+will contain the same number of samples (or roughly the same number of samples,
+see @option{frame_rate}) as the previous ones. Default value is 1.
+
+@item frame_rate, r
+This option makes the filter output a fixed number of packets per second instead
+of a fixed number of samples per packet. If the audio sample rate is not
+divisible by the frame rate then the number of samples will not be constant but
+will vary slightly so that each packet will start as close to the frame
+boundary as possible. Using this option has precedence over @option{nb_out_samples}.
+@end table
+
+You can generate the well known 1602-1601-1602-1601-1602 pattern of 48kHz audio
+for NTSC frame rate using the @option{frame_rate} option.
+@example
+ffmpeg -f lavfi -i sine=r=48000:d=1 -c pcm_s16le -bsf pcm_rechunk=r=30000/1001 -f framecrc -
