I have a django app and use a call to subprocess.call('avconv -i ' + fileName + ' ' + fileNew, shell=True). The input file is a .3gp file which has only aac mono audio stream converted to an .ogg file. Conversion succeeds, but the new file seems to be damaged and audio will not play.
Here is what I got after trying to get information for one of the input files:
xxx:/workspace/build$ avconv -i audio.3gp
avconv version 0.8.10-4:0.8.10-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the Libav developers
built on Feb 6 2014 20:56:59 with gcc 4.6.3
audio.3gp: Invalid data found when processing input
Here is the successful convert:

Here is one of the sample files: link
The following usage strings also return me an error : audio.3gp: Invalid data found when processing input::
avconv -i audio.3gp -vn -acodec libvorbis -aq 50 audio.ogg
avconv -i audio.3gp -acodec vorbis audio.ogg
Could the input files be broken, I think they are recorded on a Nexus 7?
