Audio pauses introduced in ouput video file.

[gtsop]

Very short audio pauses (we're talking about miliseconds) are introduced into the output file every 1-2 seconds in a 17sec rendered video.

Pulverize was set up as instructed in the README file (using the php version). The following command was used:

pulverize spot.blend 8

System info

OS     : Manjaro Linux
Kernel : 4.17
CPU    : i7-4790K

GPU    : Nvidia GTX 770

Blender info

Blender  : 2.79 (sub 4)
Output   : FFmpeg video | RGB
Encoding :
    Contain        : MPEG-4
    Video Coded    : H.264
    Output quality : Lowest quality

Is there anything I can change to make this work?

actually, the pauses occur where the split takes place. I see you have an i7. 17/8 = 2.125.

I solved this by exporting the audio separately and then joining it with FFmpeg. It is actually just a workaround.

Exactly my initial thoughts, but wouldn't everyone have the same problem? Anyway, if your fix is working we could automate it by providing an extra option into the parameter JSON

Hmm. That's a smart workaround. Maybe pulverize should be doing that. Are you rendering audio directly from blender? And is it fast?

Btw, this problem only happens on certain codecs. I've never had this problem on the recommended codecs (in the readme).
