Thanks so much for posting this reply. Seems FCPX (or Quicktime) has issues rendering audio where there is no video. I was trying to export a project where I had created a compound clip consisting only of audio tracks so that I could loop a soundtrack. Some of the audio tracks were over a gap in the compound clip. It would not export, I kept getting the Quicktime Error -50 immediately after trying to export.
After reading your reply, I tried disabling the compound clip containing the soundtrack, and it worked, so I eventually had to delete the compound clip and re-build my soundtrack edits in the main timeline, which will be a pain if I want to move any of the clips around in the future. Oh well, at least I got it to export.

I was caught in the same type of situation as T. Payton. I was using roles to disable all of my b-roll audio and I didn’t realize it would not export that way. There is no indication that unchecking roles is only a preview. They grey out when you uncheck them, looking like the second screenshot you posted. The bigger problem, however, is that there is no way to mute them using roles that I have found. If you find a way, please let me know. I’m almost done this project and I don’t want to go through clip-by-clip and mute every single one.
I was hoping that roles would provide this functionality for me, but it appears that’s not the case. FCP7 still wins this battle.
