Summary of the bug:
We found that when upgrading to FFmpeg 6.1, a regression in audio quality
has occurred when concatenating PCM-16 audio chunks into AAC.
After bisecting 2000 commits, we find that the behavior has changed in
https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/d85c6aba0cf27db2a6c4dfa3452cfb9c248d1b4a.
This commit seems to have changed the test fixtures as well, indicating
that it makes inadverted changes to the output.
As of writing, the crackling is still on master.
Important detail: The crackling is only audible on QuickTime on macOS with
a relatively high volume. Playing the video for example in a browser does
not result in audio artifacts.
Repro: https://jonnyburger.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/crackling.zip
Also uploaded as crackling.zip on the VideoLAN file uploader.
To reproduce, you need to download the PCM chunks and concat them using:
{{{
ffmpeg -loglevel verbose -r 30 -f concat -safe 0 -i files.txt -c:v copy
-c:a aac -b:a 320k output.mp4
}}}
Since the codebase has further evolved and it's not possible to just
revert the commit, I derived a hacky fix for anyone else facing this issue
(might break something else): https://jonnyburger.s3.eu-
