 Just tried pulling 0332324, and everything lines up great! there's no 2ms
 delay, and the other ticket about a duplicate first frame I posted #2324
 is also fixed!

 Everything lines up exactly in the output wave file.

 to the sound. I am certainly not claiming there is no issue - I don't know
 - but since we know already of three - very different - applications that
 decode the sample differently from After Effects, I wonder how you can be
 sure that it is correct.)

 I'm defining correct as placing the source mp4 and output wave file in a
 timeline together and checking if the waveforms match between them.  This
 is shown in the attached screenshot.  Since I'm not doing anything other
 than just reading a file in and encoding it to a different, I would expect
 the input and output sound to line up exactly.  Is this how you would
 expect it work?

 When I run the command  "ffmpeg -i test100.mp4 -acodec copy out.aac", the
 out.aac file audio matches the source mp4's audio exactly, without any
 delay.
