 Some converted audio and video files get sporadic cracking noises during
 playback on an iPod Nano 3rd generation.

 It can happen dozens of times during 30 minutes. Some times 3 times per
 second, some times 20 seconds apart. There is no clear pattern.

 Enclosed is a small excerpt that includes:

 1. An original input file
 2. The output file from FFmpeg
 3. What the output file sounds like when played on the iPod (played
 through a speaker and recorded with a microphone)

 The command line was a simple `ffmpeg -i original.ac3 converted.m4a`.
 Version is latest Git head, run on macOS.

 What could cause these crackling noises? Is this a known issue? How can I
 prevent them from occurring?
