It's a bit different (AFAIK).

What you are refering as 5,6,7 in the video stream are not
frames, these are packets, which each contains a GOP (group of
pictures). Every GOP consists of several video frames (I,B,P),
usually 12. You can mark a GOP as broken, but not packets or
individual frames (see explanation of the broken link flag
earlier in the thread).

There is not inter-link between video and audio packets which
would allow to mark audio packets as "broken".
