[FFmpeg-user] "Error while decoding stream #0:X: Error number -12 occurred" when trying to merge multiple audiotracks from PremiereCC MOV to one audio track in AVI

Hello,

I am trying to merge multiple audio tracks from Premiere CC MOV files to 
one audio track in an AVI file (ffvhuff).

Sourcefile is MOV, and has multiple audio streams (e.g 2x stereo, 2x 
mono, 4x mono, 8x mono, 4x stereo....)

There happens always following errors when I try to merge the audio 
streams to one audio stream:

Error while decoding stream #0:1: Error number -12 occurred
Error while decoding stream #0:2: Error number -12 occurred
Error while decoding stream #0:3: Error number -12 occurred... etc

The error can be reproduced with every multiaudiotrack MOV.
The problematic MOV files were generated by Adobe Premiere CC.
Multiaudiotrack MOVs generated with FFMPEG -> no problems at decoding.

An example file can be downloaded here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26129407/ffmpeg_user_mailing_sample_AVCI_MXF_4mono_DVPAL.zip

My used syntax:
ffmpeg -i I:\TEST\4mono_DVPAL.mov -vcodec ffvhuff -codec:a pcm_s24le 
-filter_complex "amerge=inputs=4" I:\TEST\4mono_DVPAL.avi

Best Regards
Christoph
