Thats very odd... both should work.  However, depending on if the m1v
has sequence end markers in it mplex may be prone to attempting to split
the multiplexed result at the joins.  There should be absolutely no problem
with audio (unless you changed encoding paramters mid-stream, but even then it
*should* work just fine).  How did the audio go wrong: any error messages?

PS
If the source of the .mp2 is a demultiplex 'rip' from a Digital TV or 
SVCD/DVD/VCD stream you may have difficulties.  The audio frames don't align 
with the program stream packets which would mean the last one of each rip may
be cut-off in the middle.
