These crashes happen because of memory corruption and malloc returns 0 (I see debug messages about heap corruption). All that happens before even it starts to play anything, sometimes even before av_find_stream_info returns. I tried to debug, and I see that av_find_stream_info internally opens aac decoder. I tried to play different files, no problem, but If I play files with aac it always crashes. I disable aac decoder and recompiled ffmpeg and now it doesn't crash.

And please provide a sample with which you can reproduce the issue.
