I have the same result using VLC. Has a bug been reported for this 
issue? I found the following vlc forum post thread with (what seems to 
be) the same issue:
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=42456&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

No matter what type of transcoding I try on the audio the output has no 
audio.

My workaround, I have tried ffmpeg which has worked and given me an 
FFmpeg MPEG-4 encoded video. Put the flv in  your home directory and 
using the terminal issue the following command:

$ ffmpeg -i your_flv_video.flv output_name.avi
