In other words:
This is a recent and known problem.
Using ffplay is your "workaround".

Correct?

I'm trying to use ffplay.
ffplay filename
has no sound and freezes after about 30 seconds.
I can restart at different points by clicking on the window.
ffplay -debug 9 filename
has no sound, but the video is okay.
