If you use "-mpegtransport <audio-bitrate-in-kbps>", then that 
specifies both the video codec (MPEG-2) and the audio codec (MPEG-2), 
so you should *not* also use "-mpeg2" or "-mpegaudio".

What happens if you specify "-mpegaudio 192" and "-mpeg2" *instead* 
of "-mpegtransport 192"?

What happens if you specify "-mpegaudio 192" *only* (and not "-mpeg2" 
or "-mpegtransport 192")?
