[Libav-user] Adding AMR frames to audio stream of video file

​​Hi all!

I prepared android project which makes encoding from AMR to AAC to better
show the problem. It takes AMR file from resources and reencode it to
"/storage/emulated/0/OutSound.aac".

In MainActivity INPUT_AUDIO_NAME constant specifes input file. When set to
amr.m4a strange problem described in this thread occurs. After changing to
aac.m4a rencoding is working.

I hope somebody is able to check this project and find the reason. I used
older FFMPEG library because I do not know why project is not linking with
latest version. Project is available under link:

Thank you for help.
