Summary of the bug

What I was trying to accomplish

This is on a Linux machine with Alsa and X11. I was making screencasts in the MKV container with FLAC audio.

The problem I encountered

The MKV file that FFMPEG outputs doesn't contain the last 15 seconds of audio. I.e., the audio is just replaced by silence after some point. I didn't analyze the output file in any way, except playing it with ffplay.

Another interesting thing is that if I record a screencast with a duration of just circa 5 seconds (so, the audio is just silence), ffplay just says "nan" in the place in its output on the terminal where there is usually a timestamp in the format SSS.CC.

What's the workaround

The workaround is to record for an extra 15 seconds, and then cut the extra video at the end.

How to reproduce

g=1920x1080
fr=4
d=$DISPLAY

audioCaptureDevice=hw:0
audioSampleFormat=pcm_s32le
audioNumChannels=2
audioRate=44100

f=/tmp/output.mkv

ffmpeg  -probesize 50M  -f x11grab -video_size "$g" -framerate "$fr" -i "$d"                    \
       -thread_queue_size 8192 -f alsa -channels "$audioNumChannels" -sample_rate "$audioRate" \
       -c:a "$audioSampleFormat" -ar "$audioRate" -i "$audioCaptureDevice"                     \
       -c:a flac -c:v libx264 -crf 17          "$f"
