Comment (by Cigaes):

 ffprobe's output is meant for parsing. We offer guarantee of stability
 about its format and contents.

 The stderr dump is cosmetic and meant for humans, we do not offer
 guarantee of stability.

 If some useful information is missing in the actual output, please report
 it. Otherwise, use it.
