Bill, 2.0.0 release does demonstrate the issue that "FFmpeg-compatible files" uses libsndfile until there is a .cfg file. I cannot yet reproduce the problem with libav importing stereo AIFF as silence in 2.0.1rc2 or 2.0.0 release, using an AIFF exported by Audacity. The Audacity-exported AIFF imports normally both after OK in Audacity > Preferences and after then quitting and restarting Audacity. This is using the same FFmpeg as you (the zip file of FFmpeg 0.6.2). However as I am using the zip, I have to do more than just click OK in Prefs after the libsndfile import. I have to open the Libraries Prefs and locate FFmpeg where I put it (in Applications). I would not think that would explain the difference we see, but you may want to test that. What app produced your stereo AIFF? Were you using the same AIFF to test in 1.3.14?
