Create empty video from audio?

Cheers Archers,
I'm in a need of preparing subtitles for an audio stream (don't ask) and gnome-subtitles won't load mp3 files. It works well with mp4 however and I thought that making a black video out of that mp3 might be a solution.
Is there an easy way to do it or do I need to actually assemble the video in cinarella or something?

Have you tried a google search for "linux convert mp3 to mp4" ? It appears ffmpeg can do this, but I have not tried it.

Example:

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=c=black:s=320x240 -i myfile.mp3 -c:v libx264 -b:v 300k -c:a copy outfile.mp4
