Can you implement an option to allow ffmpeg to decode the input file? FFMPEG is large, but it is able to handle decoding much better than the current method. For example, I have a collection of aac stream that I pulled straight from a server, but LameXP's decoder chokes on them cause they're in a messed up format, ffmpeg however still converts them to a wave. Another benefit with using ffmpeg would be to do some of the filtering, downmixing...etc on the fly, and then pipe the stream straight to an encoder instead of using loads of space for a wav.

Just a thought, what do you think?
