but why re-encode only the audio instead the whole stream?
do not encode it in the first front to FLV because no origin
material will be FLV and so you will not have additional
encoding for H264 and you can satisfy any client

or live with a bad multihtreading performance because
below the start of this thread

* 1m30s versus 1m39s is normal
  you can not expect permanently the full performance

* "get a faster instance from Amazon EC2" is a completly
  wrong conclusion in the context of "I tried threads up to 16"
  and FLV as target codec
