The commit which added those was pushed prematurely before anyone could object
to illogical suffixes like just m for milliseconds. Without this, we'd be locked
into never being able to implement the "m" suffix for minutes.

I read the other thread about this problem.
I think the problem is that SI prefixes u (micro) m (mili) h (hecto) d 
(deci) k (kilo) M (mega) etc may overlap with time period names: s 
(second) m (minutes) h (hour) d (day) etc.
Because only second can have prefixes (mili sec, micro sec, nano sec ) 
among time period names, thus your solution is good workaround.
But it will be complete only if we use this logic for nano sec also. But 
I am not sure if ffmpeg uses nano sec anywhere.

I'll push this tomorrow if there are no objections

What you call illogical is following the same convention as pretty much
all numeric parameters in ffmpeg. (bitrate, bufsize, framerate...)
So it is at least consistent.

I will always be against using "m" for minute, but you can use "min" if
you want.

Why do you remove support for using just 's' as a unit without prefix ?
I've seen no one complaining about it and I can't see any issue with it.

Also I don't like that this patch makes AV_OPT_TYPE_DURATION
inconsistant with every other numeric parameters, that all accept a SI
prefix without unit.
(that include opus_delay for which "3.5" and "3500m" are equivalent)

Dropped the "us" requirement and applied the patch.
Keeping the SI requirement where it doesn't make sense (and preventing us
from extending the option to something that does make sense) is worse than
being inconsistent.
