ffmpeg + sox transcoding and gapless playback

[simoncn]

I tried this again with WAV files that were produced by the method I suggested in this post. I get exactly the same small faint noise with these files. I have no way of knowing whether this is the same tick/pop that you are hearing.

The noise seems like an abrupt drop in the sound level and is definitely not happening when I play FLAC files without transcoding.
