 Well, with a NetBSD 9.1/i386 installation and an up to date pkgsrc
 tree, I'm not able to duplicate this. I tried a sample movie trailer
 in H.264 with AAC HE audio, and that worked fine. Logging was:

 (Maybe there's a difference somewhere between NetBSD 8 and 9 that's
 influencing this. Or it's something else entirely, not sure.)
