False 1.0 similarity for PNG on Mac OS El Captain #11
Description
I was using pHash via Ruby gem phash on a bit outdated Mac OS. After installing El Captain on new HDD (and so reinstalling pHash) it started to give false positive (1.0) similarity when at least one image is PNG. For example:
- http://static1.squarespace.com/static/546d6314e4b0dce5377a07f3/54f7ad0ce4b0aea85187fcc9/54f7ad34e4b0aea851882685/1425518500367/
- http://static1.squarespace.com/static/546d6314e4b0dce5377a07f3/54f7ad0ce4b0aea85187fcc9/54f7ad3ae4b0aea851882c90/1425518468940/
Values for JPEG didn't start to be wrong so when I convert the above images to JPEG, it says 0.46875
I forced an old version of gem ffi, but it had no effect -- probably smth changed in these binaries:

==> Caveats
The native FFmpeg AAC encoder has been stable since FFmpeg 3.0. If you
were using libvo-aacenc or libaacplus, both of which have been dropped in
FFmpeg 3.0, please consider switching to the native encoder (-c:a aac),
fdk-aac (-c:a libfdk_aac, ffmpeg needs to be installed with the
--with-fdk-aac option), or faac (-c:a libfaac, ffmpeg needs to be
installed with the --with-faac option).
See the announcement
https://ffmpeg.org/index.html#removing_external_aac_encoders for details,
and https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC on best practices of encoding
AAC with FFmpeg.

Unless this formula is built with libsndfile, the example program,
