The command which produces VBR mp3 file, "$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i sine=d=300 duration.mp3"'s duration is 5:43 on Mac and is 5:01 on Windows.

The command which produces CBR mp3 file, "$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i sine=d=300 -write_xing 0 duration.mp3"'s duration is 5:00 on Mac/Win.

So the issue of wrong duration is not only on Mac but also on Win, I think...
