Okay, but I also mentioned missing frames, not just audio.
You did, and I addressed the frames issue as well.
Why go through that trouble with cutting the audio and frames from a more complete source just to conform to a less complete source? If the answer is just that it’s convenient to stick with a known standard that already has other tracks synced to it, then I certainly understand that. I just personally value completeness and historical accuracy more.
It’s convenience and a desire to uphold a consistent standard to avoid confusing people. Until now, people have known that they can swap tracks between GOUT-synced releases (which the vast majority of major projects were) and not worry about sync issues. Changing standards would bring considerable potential for confusion.
