Comment (by pulkomandy):
It's relevant, but does not really fix. What I did is add FLAC (which
works) and remove all other formats which are crashing. FLAC is a lossless
codec which means it doesn't compress sound as well as Vorbis or MP3.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there is a way to fix this unless we revert to
an older ffmpeg - probably from alpha3 days. And this would remove support
for decoding some modern video formats (h264 and the like). The other
solution is to write an encoder using libvorbis directly (or musepack, or
APE or whatever format we decide to support).
Moreover, after fixing this I found there is another bug and some of the
files I tested with gets one to two seconds truncated at the end. I have
not debugged this part, yet, but MediaPlayer manage to decode the original
files until the end so there must be a way to avoid the issue.
