+Shift timestamps to make them positive. A value of 1 enables shifting,
+a value of 0 disables it, the default value of -1 enables shifting
+when required by the target format.
+
+When shifting is enabled, all output timestamps are shifted by the
+same amount. Audio, video, and subtitles desynching and relative
+timestamp differences are preserved compared to how they would have
+been without shifting.
+
+Also note that this affects only leading negative timestamps, and not
+non-monotonic negative timestamps.

+@item flush_packets @var{integer} (@emph{output})
+Flush the underlying I/O stream after each packet. Default 1 enables it, and
+has the effect of reducing the latency; 0 disables it and may slightly
+increase performance in some cases.
