 While trying to play back a simple video encoded with FFmpeg and lame, I
 get: "Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie"

 I'm on a Windows machine and am unsure if the problem is just on Windows
 or on Linux too.

 The command line I used was:

 {{{
 ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -y -acodec libmp3lame -vn "output.mp4"
 }}}

 No errors were displayed while encoding.

 I'm using version git-41bf67d built on 2011-08-16

 mp3 should be accepted in a .mp4 container and QuickTime should be able to
 play it back, so I believe this is an FFmpeg bug.
