Remove aircraft Doppler signatures from audio and video, so a recording can't be geolocated from the planes flying over it.

All figures Both modes also report grid hum (ENF): mains hum whose frequency wanders with the power grid, which can date a recording and tell which grid it was made on. Scrubbing removes it by default (--keep-hum keeps it). See research/. The audit reads the start time and position from the file's own tags (iPhone .MOV has both), or takes --start and --at.
