mencoder muxer avi lavc audio runaway pcm->mp2 compression.

[vdb128@…]

When encoding a still frame from png files through

# Makefile
MENCODEROPTS=-audiofile tall.wav -af volume=-20 -oac lavc -ovc lavc \

-lavcopts abitrate=320:vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:autoaspect:v4mv:vbitrate=3500:vpass=1

pal2.avi: pal2.png tall.wav

for i in $(TESTCARDS); do ln -sf $< card$${i}.png; done
mencoder -aspect 15/11 $(MENCODEROPTS) -o $@ mf://card*.png
for i in $(TESTCARDS); do rm -f card$${i}.png; done

with mencoder the file plays fine using mplayer, but there is no sound when
using coreavc from the mediaplayer WDtvlive. Mplayer's AV sync is odd :

Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 320.0 kbit/20.83% (ratio: 40000->192000)
Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm: mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
==========================================================================
AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)

Movie-Aspect is 1.36:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
VO: [xv] 720x576 => 786x576 Planar YV12
A:4607.7 V: 5.0 A-V:4602.708 ct: 0.500 125/125 1% 0% 0.2% 0 0

The file tall.wav is 6 second long. Using -oac pcm works. But then
transcoding from pcm to lavc mp2 gives exactly the same result.

I uploaded pal2bad.avi and pal2pcm.avi. Thank you for taking a look.
