the timebase should be changed to a multiple of the sample rate
see the avpriv_set_pts_info() call
that avoids the problem of the durations being not exactly
representable

and the frame_size either should be "redefined" to mean samples
across all channels so that 8bit samples with 3 channels and a
frame size of 1024 means 3072 bytes

cutting frames between channels is quiet bad so a frame size
in bytes is problematic but if its kept in bytes then a default of
3360 should avoid the fractional durations with the changed timebase

Thanks
