Video works, but audio doesn't

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Server configuration:
- Ubuntu 10.10 Server
- VLC-Shares 0.5.3b

Client configuration:
- Android 2.2
- RockPlayer Lite

Media info:
- video: 400x288, DivX 3
- audio: 128kbpx 48kHz mp3

When I start any stream, the video works fine however there is no audio.  
RockPlayer reports the stream as h264 320x180 but no audio stream.

h264 328*180

Sorry I didn't mean to report this as a defect, but I don't have the ability to 
change it.  Can someone please change it to "Other" please?

Does you have installed in Ubuntu an AAC encoder? Android HQ profile transcode 
video in H264/AAC, but vlc need an AAC encoder to do the job.

You can find this useful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117283

A quote from the post: "The libavcodec-extra-52 package for Maverick, Lucid, 
and Karmic do not support AAC or AMR formats. I recommend using 
libavcodec-extra-52 from the Medibuntu repository. See option C. Medibuntu."

You can use the command "ffmpeg -formats | grep aac" to get the list of 
supported encoded/decoder for AAC format. If you have aac encoder enabled, the 
output should be 
"DEA aac Advanced Audio Coding"

I installed both ffmpeg and libavcodec-extra-52 from Mediabuntu repositories, 
but now I don't get video or sound.  If I reinstall them from Ubuntu core 
repositories, I get video back again.

Maybe you haven't enough power for transconding. Anyway, vlc-shares works if 
the stream start. Problem are related to vlc or transconding settings. You can 
archive better results changing vlc params in transcoding profiles. Give a look 
to this
