[Ffmpeg-devel] corrupt audio when cut

Sometimes (say 5% of the time) when I use ffmepg -ss X -t Y to cut a 
smaller file out of a bigger file (in this case MPEG-4 avi with mp3), 
the audio will go corrupt. It's not the file because I can substitute 
different X and Y values in and it'll work fine (although still a 5-10% 
chance of corruption). Furthemore, if X and Y stay the same, the 
behavior is always the same, either corrupt or not corrupt.

The orginial file is created with

ffmpeg -v 0 -i /dev/video0 -async 1 -y -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp3 -t 3580 
-b 1750k -ab 192 -ar 44100 -s 480x384 -vtag DX50 'file.avi'

The cut process is:

ffmpeg -ss 60.0 -t 180.0 -y -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i file.avi 
cutfile.avi
