vlc can't play FLVs with speex audio

VLC version: v1.0 Platform: Mac OS X 10.5.7, but this probably happens on all platforms.

I have some audio-only FLVs. The ones that have the audio encoded with nellymoser will play. However, ones with the audio encoded with speex won't play (the player window will act as if its playing but no sound is heard).

audio-only FLV with nellymoser encoding (this will play fine in VLC)

fyi, here's what ffmpeg reports for the speex FLV:

http://pastie.org/557549 is a patch to solve it, if the build is done without the speex decoder.

or --codec avcodec is used.

Applied. Now the speex decoder needs to be fixed.

Still broken as of 1.2

Still broken as of 2.0.1
