Can you please state what operating system you are using. See the pink panel above. I am afraid I don't have any easy answer to this. I too can only produce a zero bytes 8-channel file using Audacity and FFmpeg 0.5 or 0.6.2 on Windows 7 (or a later FFmpeg on Ubuntu 13.04). Audacity doesn't encode th...
