help with ffmpeg

# I am aware that ffmpeg noramlly wants full command-lines and unmolested console logs, but in this case it simply wouldn't be
# practical as the output is tens or hundreds of thousands of lines at the best, and megabytes of text output at the worst,
# when more verbosity is enabled.  The only snipped output is that which I know for a fact to be absolutely irrelevant.

# The development enviroment is a clone of the production environment, which is up to date Scientific Linux 6 (RHEL) system,
# and the tools used are the latest versions of ffmpeg and relevant libraries, except where the distribution supplied libraries
# are compatible and sufficient, or at a minimum, adaptable to ffmpeg without requiring extensive modification patches to the
# upstream ffmpeg checkouts.

# The build system is fully automated and can be switched to produce valid RPMs at any moment for easy deployment across
# different managed production and development system environments.  Currently in the development environment the 12 ffmpeg
# dependencies that are not available through trusted distribution repositories are locally installed into /opt and the
# final binaries into /usr/local, but this is not relevant in any way to the problem at hand and our build system, automated
# testing, and deployments are performing flawlessly.  For completeness, 11 of the 12 new dependencies are built as shared
# libraries: xavs, x265, vo-aacenc, soxr, webp, vid.stab, shine, fdk_aac, aacplus, gme, and celt.  The last of the tweleve is
# vpx, which is staticly linked with ffmpeg since it is built in such a way that it is binary incompatible with the RHEL
# repository supplied libvpx, and is only used by my ffmpeg anyway.

# The goals of having a) the latest ffmpeg available at all times via package management, b) the ability to update or rollback
# ffmpeg releases across the entire enterprise, and c) having nearly every supported ffmpeg feature enabled with only minimal
# additions of new packages or changes to upstream ffmpeg code was easily achievable thanks to the ease of use of Red
# Hat's superior packaging and build tools.  We can test, validate, and push out new releases to several thousand hosts in
# multiple clusters of mixed architectures with near-zero QA effort.  Woop.

# I'm prototyping the application first through an unholy mix of awk, sed, ksh, and Object REXX at this time.  The final release
# application will be written in C and Erlang and use the ffmpeg libraries directly.  This is my first use of ffmpeg and
# handling multimedia or streaming at all (I'm a mainframe guy), so please forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

# Here is my use of the ffmpeg command, where $PIPE is a Unix FIFO, and ${INPUT} is replaced with arbitrary text specifying the input source, (usually another live stream), which is read directly by the ffmpeg(1) process.

# Prevent FIFO from closing if the ffmpeg(1) process exits, to allow uninterrupted streaming.

# The stream itself freezes until the new ffmpeg(2) process consumes as many frames as necessary to reach the number
# where it left off.  In this case it's 1199.  At soon as ffmpeg(1) sends ffmpeg(2) frame 1200, it stops dropping
# frames and continues to play.  In the meantime, the stream appears "frozen" to any playing client, and starts up
# again just fine once 'that frame' (in this example, 1200) is sent through the pipe.

# I assume I have to do some sort of PTS/DTS molesting here, possibly with setpts?  What I'd like is for the stream
# to resume as soon as valid frames are consumed again.  If the stream has been up for 1 hours and 10 seconds, there
# isn't any need to drop the first 1 hour and 10 seconds of the next input and only start again when the 2nd ${INPUT}
# hits 1 hour and 11 seconds of data sent.

# I hope this is enough information to explain the isolated problem in the prototype application.

# I humbly request any assistance that might be offered by anyone willing to look into my (obviously noobish) problem,
# or offer other suggestions or optimizations.
