encode pcm_s16be in AVI format

[Elliott]

When I try to encode audio with pcm_s16be codec in an AVI container, I get an error. I first noticed this when trying to change the frame rate of an MP4 without re-encoding, by changing to an AVI container, as suggested in this thread: ​http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.user/53700

I used "-acodec copy -vcodec copy", and that gave the error. More investigating shows that encoding any type of audio source as pcm_s16be doesn't work in AVI.

$ ffmpeg -i C0007.MP4 -acodec pcm_s16be -vn C0007-audio.avi
