+This is one of the simplest tests for FFmpeg. Look at the first quoted line. It adds `fate-dts` to a weird variable containing a call to `DEMDEC`. The `DEMDEC` function returns "yes" if the required `DEM`uxer and `DEC`oder, in this case the `mpegts` demuxer and `dca` decoder, are enabled. Then, if you look at the end of the file:
+
+{{{
+FATE_SAMPLES_AUDIO += $(FATE_SAMPLES_AUDIO-yes)
+
+FATE_SAMPLES_FFMPEG += $(FATE_SAMPLES_AUDIO)
+}}}
+
+The enabled tests are added into `FATE_SAMPLES_AUDIO` and subsequently `FATE_SAMPLES_FFMPEG` variable, which then of course gets called when doing `make fate`.
+
+Keep in mind that different tests may have different variable prefixes. Not all tests can be categorized into `FATE_SAMPLES_FFMPEG` variable.
+
+If only one component for the test you want to add is required, you can replace `$(call DEMDEC, MPEGTS, DCA)` to `$(CONFIG_*)`.
