Just wondering: Is this the sin.flac from
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i aevalsrc="sin(440*2*PI*t):s=48000" -t 300 -y sin.flac
??

Is a sinusoidal signal good enough to benchmark an audio encoder? It
only requires one very narrow frequency band, after all, no
psychoacoustics, ...

I don't see differences in general encoding speed of sine vs. noise,
but I didn't check the influence on your code improvements. Agreed,
noise doesn't do much for psychoacoustics probably either.

(BTW, if just inspecting ffmpeg runtime without use of benchmarking
start/stop markers, I use lavfi directly, to avoid the overhead of flac
decoding. And not aevalsrc - sine and even anoisesrc are 10x faster.)
