Description
When using YT-DL to extract audio from a video the operation fails without errors when trying to produce an M4a file. When trying to convert to mp3, there’s an error in VBRQuantize (See screen shot for full error)
The Webm version successfully downloads each time, it’s simply the conversion that seems to fail. The failed files do show up in /root as does the successful webm.

Research direction
Start by reproducing YT-DL audio extraction in the iSH environment, comparing the successful WebM download with M4A and MP3 conversion. Review the linked screenshot for the VBRQuantize error and check the resulting files in /root; done means both requested conversions complete successfully with a useful error if they fail.
