I'm experiencing the same bug, happens when converting to AAC as well. Getting weird cracling sounds, and every few seconds there is a very-small gap of silence.

Have you tried to reproduce with a newer SoundConverter release, such as 2.1.x? There have been a few fixes related to the GStreamer pipeline that is used during conversion, and that can make a difference.

Is there a suitable 2.1.x package to try on 14.04 system?

If Firefox ask for which program to use, select /usr/bin/apturl-gtk

I removed Soundconverter then clicked 'Install This Now' on the getdeb page in #6 above, chose /usr/bin/apturl-gtk at prompt and soundconverter installed, but despite the page showing 2.1.2 version for14.04, it appears to be actually installing 2.0.4

Oh well, this isn't that simple indeed.
You can download the source from here: https:/
Then unpack the archive, and run "./configure && make && sudo make install" in the extracted folder.
