Description

Like this ffmpeg-based script that processes a file to remove silent parts with certain inputs for how silent it should be when cutting and such: github.com/carykh/jumpcutter

Another playback mode that would be useful is to detect silence from one of 2 audio channels, and playing mono.

There's probably a lot of things you can do with a "playback mode" feature.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ffmpeg-based jumpcutter script and its silence-cutting inputs, then compare that behavior with mpv's playback needs. The issue does not name an mpv file or test; done would require an agreed playback-mode scope, including silence detection from one audio channel and mono playback.
