(again) VLC won't do mp4a transcoding
Not too long ago I opened ticket #6184 (closed), describing how VLC would not do mp4a audio transcoding.
The bug was supposedly fixed, and along came VLC 2.0.1 and the bug remains:
cvlc file.avi --play-and-exit --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=500,scale=1.0,acodec=mp4a,ab=64,channels=2}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.100:46232}'
[NULL @ 0x7f62f800de40] Codec is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, see -strict -2
[0x7f62f8001028] avcodec encoder error: cannot open encoder
[0x7f62f8001028] main encoder error: Streaming / Transcoding failed
[0x7f62f8001028] main encoder error: VLC could not open the encoder.
[0x7f6308007418] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot find audio encoder (module:any fourcc:mp4a). Take a look few lines earlier to see possible reason.
[0x7f6308007418] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot create audio chain

Thanks.
