 Summary of the bug:
 I intend to transcode an mpeg ts file such that I copy the video as  it is
 but the audio will be encoded to aac ...so that I can play it in the
 browser. Please see the attached TS file.

 I use the following ffmpeg command to attempt that
 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 ffmpeg -i ff_vlc.ts -vcodec copy -acodec aac -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0
