Interesting; I was not aware of this of this. ffmpeg2theora appears to
have problems decoding the 5.1 audio that I get with my local HD
programming (mentioned on this list in March.) ffmpeg proper is fine
so I'm not sure what ffmpeg2theora is doing differently. I'd given up
on ffmpeg2theora as a result, but there appear to be issues either way
you go? (Choose between broken Ogg mux support or broken 5.1 audio
decoding?)
