Summary of the bug:
At https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#Codec-Options there is no
hint that options should be postfixed by a stream specifier in case of
ambiguity. An example would be helpful too.
At https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#AVOptions the given example doesn't
reflect the statement: "... a stream specifier should be attached ...", so
"... in case of ambiguity" should be amended.
For https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#Format-Options the same
applies.
How to reproduce:
{{{
% ffmpeg -i input -level:a 5 output # avoid ambiguity with video codec
level
ffmpeg version: current
}}}
