Thanks for the patch; it does eliminate the scratchiness when the
generated file is played with mplayer. However, I don't hear any audio
output whatsoever when playing the file with quicktime player. (The
same applies to the other RealMedia files I tested.) Perhaps the
file's audio stream is not being properly recorded on MacOSX?

$ file out.avi
out.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 400 x 300, video: DivX 5, audio:
MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mono, 22050 Hz)

Using the previously mentioned version of mencoder on Linux, the
resulting file's identification info looks like this:

$ file out.avi
out.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 400 x 300, video: DivX 5, audio:
MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mono, 22050 Hz)
