PS3 fast forward no sound problems

[spam.mc]

I had this problem and found it was due to the version of ffmpeg.exe 
being used.
I "downgraded" to this one:

FFmpeg version SVN-r22140-Sherpya, Copyright (c) 2000-2010 the FFmpeg 
developers

   built on Mar  2 2010 03:26:44 with gcc 4.2.5 20080919 (prerelease) 
[Sherpya]
   libavutil     50. 9. 0 / 50. 9. 0
   libavcodec    52.55. 0 / 52.55. 0
   libavformat   52.54. 0 / 52.54. 0
   libavdevice   52. 2. 0 / 52. 2. 0
   libavfilter    1.17. 0 /  1.17. 0
   libswscale     0.10. 0 /  0.10. 0
   libpostproc   51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0

Which fixes the problem (doesn't have the bug).

IRC the probliem is that newer versions of ffmpeg produce files where 
the audio bit rate gets encoded incorrectly and confuses the PS3 into 
not playing the file at the correct speed.
You can extract and re-encoding the sound track with the correct 
parameters and it fixes the problem on existing files.  But downgrading 
to that older version of ffmpeg fixes the problem on new downloads.

I don't know if the latest version ffmpeg has this problem fixed,  I've 
not tried it out as I know the older one works fine.

If you can't get hold of the older version let me know and I'll put it 
somewhere you can download it.
