Stop draining an unbounded backlog before emitting
When a track already has a large retained group ready, or the sink was backpressured, this loop keeps calling poll_read until Pending or EOF and queues every frame before poll_next can release even one. This changes the previous one-pending-frame behavior into O(backlog bytes) memory usage, and FLV additionally copies each payload while encoding, so a large group can spike or exhaust memory even with with_delay(Duration::ZERO). Bound each fill pass or interleave pushes with releases; the same unbounded loop exists in MKV's fill.

Fixed in a8d9a99. Both fill loops now read a track only until it has a frame due (any queued frame at zero delay), through a shared jitter::Buffer::full check, so a backlog stays in the source and goes out as it falls due. At zero delay this is the old one-pending-frame-per-track merge. FLV now buffers raw frames with their authored timestamp and encodes a tag only on release, so late or stale frames are never copied.
a_backlog_stays_in_the_source_until_due (FLV and MKV, zero and 100 ms delay, mock time) holds at most one frame after each release; with full disabled it holds 49.

Qualify the zero-delay no-drop claim
For the newly added FLV and MKV cases, delay is also passed unchanged to each ExportSource as its staleness budget, and the container consumer treats a zero budget as aggressive group skipping. Consequently, if an older group stalls while a newer group is available, --delay 0 can still omit the older group's frames; only jitter-buffer deadline drops are disabled. Either special-case the source budget or document that narrower condition instead of promising that nothing is dropped.

Agreed; corrected the docs in a8d9a99 rather than special-casing the budget. The delay is also the staleness budget, so zero drops no frame as late but still skips a stalled group once a newer one is ready. Updated in doc/bin/cli.md, the --delay help, and the FLV/MKV with_delay docs.

The exports drained every ready frame into the jitter buffer before releasing any, so a backlog (a stalled sink, a large retained group) was queued whole, and FLV encoded each copy up front. A track is now read only until it has a frame due (any frame without a delay), so a backlog stays in the source and goes out as it falls due. FLV encodes a tag only when it is released. Correct the zero-delay claims: a zero delay is also a zero staleness budget, so stalled groups are still skipped. Fix the --max-delay sentence in the CLI docs, update the unreleased upgrade notes, and measure only the export in the benchmark. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Bound fills before the first nonzero-delay deadline
When delay > 0 and a source already has a retained group ready, every pushed frame initially has a future deadline, so full remains false throughout the synchronous fill loop; frames held in acquire are not inspected here either. Both FLV and MKV can therefore still drain an entire retained group into memory before returning, delaying other tracks and using O(backlog) memory. Fresh evidence beyond the prior backlog finding is this nonzero-delay path, which the new benchmark misses because it constructs exporters with the zero-delay default. Stop after bounded read-ahead and cover a retained source with a nonzero delay.

Declining, after a maintainer decision. While the clock is acquired there are no deadlines yet, and reading the retained group to its end is what finds the live edge: the clock anchors on the freshest frame. Stopping early would anchor on an old frame and carry the backlog's age as latency for the whole run. What the acquisition holds meanwhile are refcounted frames the source already holds (FLV now encodes only on release, MKV never copied), and once it ends everything older than the delay is dropped, so the buffer trims back to the delay. A new test, a_retained_group_trims_to_the_delay (FLV and MKV, 100 ms), covers that path at a nonzero delay.

Reviewed commit: 18aff57.
The shared jitter-buffer direction is reasonable, and the new passthrough: false integration fix looks correct. One issue from the earlier read-only inspection remains:
[P1] Refill MKV sources when a released frame produces no cluster. In rs/moq-mux/src/container/mkv/export.rs:345–347, zero-delay fill stops after queuing one frame. With default fragmentation, poll_next:287–321 consumes that frame into an open cluster, exhausts jitter, and returns Pending without refilling or reading source EOF. A ready finite AAC source can consequently hang after its header. Interleave bounded fill and release until a chunk, EOF, or genuine source/timer Pending, and add a finite zero-delay regression with default fragmentation. The added MKV tests use per-frame clusters and miss this path.
Verification: static GitHub review of the current-base diff and changes since the earlier read-only inspection; tests were not run. The accepted acquisition-buffering tradeoff is not being raised again.
Problem
FLV and MKV selected the earliest frame already available, so cross-track arrival order determined their output. Their staleness setting did not hold frames until a release deadline.
Approach
Route both exporters through the shared jitter buffer, preserving ingress timing, discontinuity and skip metadata. Drain scheduled frames before EOF. FLV schedules its authored tag DTS; MKV shares the TS decode-clock algorithm for reordered video while preserving block PTS. Keep the decode clock and reorder calculations private and shared.
Each track is read only until it has a frame due (any frame, without a delay), via the jitter buffer's new private
fullcheck. A backlog (a stalled sink, a large retained group) stays in the source and goes out as it falls due, instead of being queued whole before the first release. At zero delay this is the previous one-pending-frame-per-track merge. FLV keeps raw frames and their authored timestamp in the buffer and encodes a tag only when it is released, so late or stale frames are never copied.Impact
with_max_delaybecomeswith_delay, which controls release timing and source staleness. The library default remains zero.moq export flvandmkvuse--delay(500 ms default), refusing old spellings with migration messages. Other stdout formats retain their existing options.Alternatives
A separate queue would duplicate the TS release policy. Scheduling MKV directly by PTS misorders B-frames against audio; the new regression demonstrates that failure and verifies preserved output PTS.
For the backlog, also capping how far ahead of now a track may be read was rejected: a track a source sends ahead of the others (TS video often leads audio by most of a second) would be read late, skewing the arrival times the clock measures its leads and drift from. What a real-time source sends ahead is bounded by the delay plus its track's lead, and a source running off the clock's drift tolerance already fails the export.

Earlier rounds:just test interop --allpassed the language matrix, refusal, browser close and finite-tail cases; fixed-delay regressions fail before the change; a negative control disabling MKV decode ordering fails with the wrong PTS order; CLI help was checked.The nightly benchmark sweeps 1/4/16 tracks by 1/16/64 queued frames for both containers at zero delay, now timing only the export (publishing the broadcast is setup). Reading only until a frame is due, against reading every ready frame first (this PR's previous head), costs up to about 13% at 16x64. Sample size is 10, so single cases are noisy (mkv/4x1 especially).
