I tried with the latest ffmpeg 2017-11-11, but it didn't help out my setup.  So I guess you had a different problem all along.

Just do a google search, lots of apps are affected by the preview firmware:

Judging by some of their findings, it looks like a possible workaround is to limit to 2 channels when audio needs to be transcoded.

Can that easily be done as a temporary fix? I don't think this is possible in the UI right now.
