You are correct about there usually being an unequal amount of audio 
and video in a chunk. I think when ExtractStream gets the wrong 
stream mixed into your stream it does it a whole chunk at a time. 
I've never seen a chunk where some records were right and some were 
wrong (and I have been looking), they're either all right or all 
wrong. When I've looked at the timecodes before and after the 
incorrect chunk they match up perfectly (in other words, the 
incorrect chunk is inserted, not replacing a correct chunk). Now 
there may be missing chunks too (not positive, but I think I saw some 
indication of it once). If this is true, there isn't much we can do 
about it after the video has been extracted, but it could cause A/V 
sync problems.
