maybe it's a problem with clipping: the default source format is 
AF_FORMAT_S16_NE
in mencoder, but in faac it's FAAC_INPUT_FLOAT.
When I committed the encoder I added the :format input parameters to specify
the source format to use: format=32 (AF_FORMAT_S32_NE int) and format=33 
(AF_FORMAT_FLOAT_NE)
that at the time used to work, but now they don't work anymore :-(
who broke it?
