Works fine (or at least as intended) for me, however:

If it works (crashes for some formats) use -novideo instead of "-vc null -vo null".
In addition this will also still try to play video with the correct timing.
In rc4 it would just quit when audio is done, but in general that isn't desireable
behaviour.
Using -benchmark should improve that.
