[DNG] Crash when using recent avconv (libav-tools)

Problem: avconv crashes while building a video from an image and audio. It worked until a recent update. (I'll also hang out on IRC in case people need me live.) I am using Devuan-1.0.0-jessie-i386-DVD According to `apt-cache show libav-tools` I have 6:11.12-1~deb8u1 I am tr
