Hi DSPGuru, sorry, I have detected some more problems with the encoded audio. Technically, everythnig works fine, i.e. the whole process runs without errors, but the resulting mp2 file (as well as the muxed mpeg in the end) sound horrible, a lot of crackle and echos in it. You can still recognize the source audio (i.e. understand the voices), but it simply sounds horrible. Do you have any idea what else I could try? I have included besweets log file, tell me if you need more information. Thank you.
