This seems to have been fixed in recent versions of ffmpeg. Hmm, it
seems I'm using the latest snapshot, so it might not be in any
releases.

The only problem I still experience with flv encoding under ffmpeg is
an audio pop at the end of some videos. Otherwise it works great, and
is impressively (even scarily) fast.
