I get the same error (non-playing audio with the standard demuxer, 
working with lavf). With the standard demuxer, I get

Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8257532 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

Changing line 824 to 5000 works now, but since you mentioned it, I’m 
afraid of keeping it that way... What does lavf do different so that the 
number of audio packets is not an issue there?
