Pentax K-r MJPEG files - one second clicking

[wanted]

Summary of the bug:
Files produced by Pentax K-r camera are not fully supported by ffmpeg. There is an issue with audio, where one can hear a distinct click every second, both when using ffplay and in output files converted with ffmpeg. I read on some forum this might be related to the way audio from AVI files from this camera is interleaved with video, i.e. with 1 second period, which is unusual.

Many tools, like video converters, based on ffmpeg also exhibit this behavior. My workaround has always been to use avidemux, which works fine with those AVI files, but it would be nice to fix that also for ffmpeg.

How to reproduce:

% ffplay <file>
