System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19045-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 536.67

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.6.0, branch: blender-v3.6-release, commit date: 2023-06-27 08:08, hash: c7fc78b81ecb
Worked: tested on 3.0.0 and 3.1.0
Caused by c9be925f7d

Short description of error
Loading a .blend file with VSE data made in Blender 3.0.0 behaves unexpectedly when saved and opened in 3.6.0. The lengths of audio strips associated with videos are not retained. When loading the blend file in 3.6.0 the "Strip Start Offset" is reset to zero, thus making all of the start times of the audio strips incorrect.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender 3.0.0 and start a blank VSE project.
Drag a video clip with audio into the timeline (I used an MKV clip recorded from OBS)
Use the "k" key to make some cuts to the clip.
move the new cuts vertically to make their start and ends easier to see.
Save the file as "test.blend"
Open the file in Blender 3.6.0
Observe that the start points of many of the audio clips are not correct.

Additional Info
I've included a ZIP file that contains a small .blend sample file, as well as a short 9 second .mkv screen recording necessary to demonstrate the bug. This .blend file was created in Blender 3.0.0.

I did not test further if this bug also occurs with pure audio files (such as .wav or .mp3) or if it only occurs with audio from video files. I tested with multiple MKV files generated by OBS, and all had this same issue.
