Comment 3 for bug 141314

I can confirm this (in MEncoder 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13). -oac copy works, mp3lame and pcm don't work. Mplayer is not affected. Mencoder uses (autodetects) mp3lib for audio decoding, mplayer libmad.

Adding -afm libmad to mencoder command line works as a workaround.

The distortion sounds like an endianness problem - horrible buzzing distortion, but the sound also has a clean component.
