I've seen similar effects. For me it was caused by the audio codec adding a
small delay. If the delay is more than half a frame then QT adds the extra
white frame to the end.

As I understand it, from Googling and this mail list, some audio codecs
overlap audio frames, and add the audio from the overlapped parts together.
So, without adding a delay the first half of the first audio frame would be
at half level.

I haven't re-tested faac in a mov in the last year or so.
