Eli, Thanks for the suggestion. I've found that the method I've been using has worked well the last couple years.
I have noticed that I can render audio to mp3 file and then merge it with video in ffmpeg. That method will work for what I'm currently doing ( some home movies of the grandkids to post on facebook). Fortunately the script I wrote to merge multiple files a few years ago allows for either ac3 or mp3 audio formats. I think it put the mp3 option in the last time the ac3 problem showed up. I have had other issues in the past with Cinelerra crashing during render operations, and have found some work arounds to get the desired results. As you say, it's sometimes the simplest way to get the job done.
