eac3to - audio conversion tool

[Frogger13]

I want to UP this Issue as I'm getting the same since I moved from version 3.22 to 3.24. Happens especially when under heavy load (e.g. multiple encodings at the same time) but also spuriously when encoding one file at a time

I don't remember at which point the problem started to occur but it hasn't been there for long.
