How to get Track ID in mkvmerge?

[pras92]

I have an mkv file, which has one video and 1 audio track. The audio out of sync. Using a +1000ms audio delay in vlc makes it sync.
So i'm trying to re-encode with https://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix to get audio sync
I believe

-y

switch should be used to do this. But it requires track ID to do the job(as said in the mkvmerge document).
Now, how do i find out the track ID? When i tried
mkvmerge -i e.mka

it throws me an error:

Error: The source file 'e.mka' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving i
ts size by seeking to the end did not work.

Opening the file in mkvmergeGUI doesn't show the TID either.

Also, is it necessary for the input file to be present in the mkvmerge directory (the one which is defined in the environment variables)? Because, if i place the input file in any other directory, then i am supposed to five the directory location along with the filename, but the -i switch states that it won't take anything other than the filename itself.

P.S: It seems that there are confusions with "track ID". I believe that the required TID in this case is the one something like 12345 and not 01 or 02.
I also saw some dated discussions on TID here, but couldn't get what they were talking:
https://trac.bunkus.org/ticket/695
http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-155732.html (while in this page, search for "identify" to see the TID related conversations)

Have you tried demuxing with TSMuxer and remuxing with a sync offset?

You can just load it into mkvmergegui, set your delay and remux new mkv, or do you just want to find some command line solution?

as for command line solution, you get track ID first with one line and then use -y in another command line, example here: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/mkvmerge.html#mkvmerge.examples

Thank You _Al_ for your first suggestion.
