ffmpeg fails to transcode (libmp3lame fails with error : output buffer too small

[nathanp@…]

Here is a transcript of what leads to the error.

This is a bug in the version of lame that was used when I built ffmpeg (I built it on Dec 4, and no updates have been posted to the port tree) See this Ubuntu bug detailing the same problem. ​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lame/+bug/401406

Since I'm not sure what relevant ports you'll need information about here is the list off all installed ports.
