I rebuilt ffmpeg as follows:
/nfs/scratch/Developer/ffmpeg-git-src/configure --prefix=/Developer/ppc 
--enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-libmp3lame 
--enable-libvorbis --enable-libopus --enable-libtheora 
--enable-libschroedinger --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libmodplug 
--enable-libvpx --enable-libspeex --enable-shared --enable-pthreads 
--enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-libopencore-amrnb 
--enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-postproc --enable-libx264 
--enable-libxvid --enable-runtime-cpudetect 
--extra-cflags=-I/opt/local/include 
--extra-ldflags='-headerpad_max_install_names -L/opt/local/lib' 
--disable-stripping --enable-debug=3 --disable-optimizations

I loaded ffmpeg_g into gdb in emacs and set a breakpoint in 
float_to_int16_stride_altivec.  I converted an mp3 to an m4a (had to add 
-strict -2 to ffmpeg options, and it was really slow).  I then converted 
the output m4a back to mp3 -- the breakpoint (and the NULL pointer 
de-reference were never hit).  I tried with aac/al04_44.mp4 from fate 
suite and that didn't hit float_to_int16_stride_altivec either.  Looking 
at the code, float_to_int16_stride_altivec is only called from 
float_to_int16_interleave_altivec if number of channels is greater than 2.

I also tried converting the 5.1 ch WMV file to flac again, and that 
didn't enter this function either.  ffprobe says that WMV file has flt 
samples, so it would seem to be a perfect candidate for this test.

BTW, Is there a way to turn off ANSI colors on ffmpegs pretty-printed 
output?  It's really annoying in emacs gdb mode (it doesn't interpret 
the color codes, just spams the buffer with them).
