It was considered, but as far as I know nobody is actively working on
it.

Your ffmpeg command-line has a problem: it does not specify the sample
rate, and thus falls back to whatever default libavformat is using. I
strongly advise against relying on default values in this kind of cases,
always specify the relevant parameters. Only you can know the correct
sample rate.

Once you know it, the octets sizes are easy: duration times number of
samples per second (= sample rate) times number of channels times number
of octets per channel value.

The value you used, 176400, is consistent to libaformat's current
default sample rate for PCM files.

Indeed. It is one of these filters that exist in both video and audio
variant, with the 'a' prefix for the audio.

No problem, glad it solved the issue.
