Hi Steven,

thanks for the quite complete report and explanation of what you're
trying to do.

This ffmpeg version is over two years old (Jan 2018).

I tried with a more recent version, with an artificial alaw WAV file as
input, and don't see your issues. I see only this warning (quoting your
log):

> [aac @ 0x25ee600] Too many bits 8832.000000 > 6144 per frame requested, clamping to max

That it works for me may be due to the fact that I don't use your
real-life input.

Could you kindly try with a newer version?

Thanks,
Moritz
