Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

I have an autoprofile like this to speed up network files:

[net-speedup]
profile-cond=demuxer_via_network
speed=1.40

But in certain cases I want to avoid this auto profile because I know I don't want the speed up.

--speed 1 doesn't work since auto profile applies later. And there appears to be no --no-profile or similar option to blacklist/disable profile through the cli.

Research direction

Start by tracing the CLI handling for --speed and profile-cond, focusing on when auto profiles are applied relative to command-line options. Determine how a command-line option could disable a matching auto profile without affecting ordinary profile use. Done means the reported autoprofile can be bypassed from the CLI while the existing speed behavior remains unchanged.
