1. brand new HDD but EXTENTS_FL errors
  
  OK, my statement was incorrect, but your answer is only partial. The values are a composite of two values (number of seek errors plus total number of seeks) and can only be understood by converting them to hex, extracting both values and then converting from hex to decimal. For example, a seek...

  I don't know why the Webif diagnostics are recording the disk health as unknown; a bug in Webif with these new disks perhaps? I'm speculating about this, I don't know. I would not worry about those apparently high read and seek error rates, they are in hex: see here. I think the extents flags...

8. Bookmark changes between 5.1 and Stereo audio?
  
  In simple cases adding '-map 0' works but in the examples in post #71, that command will cause the process to fail on two counts. For some reason, BBC broadcasts have extra streams which ffmpeg can't decode. This is easily fixed by adding '-ignore_unknown' to the output side of the command line...

  I'm not sure if this is relevant, but if you set both -ss and -to as output options with ffmpeg it works as expected, i.e. the section copied starts at the 'ss' value and ends at the 'to' value. However, if you set -ss as an input option, the -to option acts like -t, i.e. the section copied...

  Are these problems related to the stream start point? When copied by ffmpeg the start of the stream is set to zero (actually 1.4 seconds, the parameter '-muxdelay 0' as an output option will set the start to zero). The original stream start varies considerably: the commands may work as expected...
