feat: replace aiohttp pump with ffmpeg copy-mode remux

Uses ffmpeg -c copy (no transcoding) with -reconnect_streamed to handle
provider session-token refreshes transparently. ffmpeg normalises PTS/DTS
across reconnects, eliminating A/V desync permanently. Quality is bit-for-
bit identical to the source stream.

 Recovery model
 --------------
 The pump loop runs indefinitely while self._running is True.  Each iteration
-opens a fresh upstream connection.  If the connection fails or stalls the loop
+spawns an ffmpeg process in copy (remux) mode.  ffmpeg owns the upstream
-sends SENTINEL to every client (forcing the player to reconnect from scratch),
+HTTP connection and uses its built-in -reconnect_streamed flag to handle
-sleeps briefly, then retries the upstream connection.
+short provider interruptions (e.g. expiring session tokens) transparently,
+normalising PTS/DTS in the output so clients never see an A/V discontinuity.
 
-Sending SENTINEL on reconnect is intentional: keeping the TCP connection alive
+If ffmpeg itself exits (unrecoverable error or stall beyond its own timeout)
-while splicing in chunks from a new provider connection causes a PTS/DTS jump
+the outer loop drains all client queues, backs off briefly, and spawns a
-that most players cannot reconcile silently — the result is permanent audio
+fresh ffmpeg process — again without disconnecting clients.
-desync.  A clean player reconnect gives the player a fresh timestamp timeline
+
-and guarantees A/V sync from the first frame of the new connection.
+SENTINEL is only pushed when stop() is called or the pump truly gives up.
 
 Stall detection
 ---------------
-Each chunk read is wrapped in asyncio.wait_for(STALL_TIMEOUT).  If the
+ffmpeg's -timeout option (socket-level read timeout) handles provider stalls.
-upstream stops sending bytes for STALL_TIMEOUT seconds we treat it as a dead
+A safety-net asyncio.wait_for wraps each stdout read in case ffmpeg hangs
-stream and reconnect immediately rather than waiting for a TCP timeout that
+without producing output or exiting.
-could take minutes.
+
+A/V sync
+--------
+ffmpeg re-muxes the incoming MPEG-TS into a fresh output stream.  On every
+reconnect the output PTS/DTS sequence is continuous regardless of provider-
+side timestamp resets, eliminating audio desync entirely.  No video or audio
+is re-encoded — quality is bit-for-bit identical to the source.
