 anything it selects.

 The [http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#aselect_002c-select
 documentation] says:
 >Select frames to pass in output.

 ...which would lead me to believe that 'select these frames --> send to
 the encoder' should work. So either the documentation is misleading, or
 the select filter doesn't work as it should. Or I'm just being dense, but
 in that case I would appreciate an explanation of what the select filter
 is for, if not for uses like this.
