(basically it went from 40.38 to 40.42)
One interesting note is that 0.04 is "about" one frame at 29.97 fps,
which the input "pretends to be" I wonder if there is an off by one
issue or something...

Actually just doing a test like this (converting mp3 to mp3):

$ ffmpeg -i yo.mp3 -vn -acodec libmp3lame yo2.mp3

over and over yields durations like:
yo.mp3 (start): 50.25 seconds
yo2.mp3 : 00:00:53.28
yo3.mp3 : 00:00:53.30
yo4.mp3 : 00:00:53.32

Something doesn't seem quite right here, the same audio file appears
to be getting longer and longer...
