Comment (by Cigaes):
Except for the time that no longer progress (I posted a patch about that
yesterday), that is normal and expected, if not desirable.
ffmpeg is still encoding audio silence, and since you privided an infinite
quantity of it, it will never stop. The muxer wants to interleave audio
and video, but no video is coming, so audio gets queued, thus the memory
use growing and not the file. If you quit ffmpeg cleanly (hit q), all the
data gets written to the file at once.
There may be ways of enhancing things (maybe some way to signal a stream
is finished so that the interleaving does not wait for it), but I do not
think there is something fundamentally wrong in ffmpeg's reaction to this
hostile situation.
