Comment:

 mp2 is a lossy codec, there is no right or wrong sample format. It
 entirely depends what the decoder decides to decode to, and our mp2
 decoder by default decodes to fltp.

 Neither situation is correct or wrong. One is just what you want to
 happen.
 The behavior can also vary depending on how ffmpeg is build. It has both a
 fixed point (S16) and floating point (FLT) decoder. If either of those is
 disabled, the other one is always going to be used. If both are enabled,
 you can also manually specify one of them.
