Here is a patch:
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2020-August/267437.html 
<http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2020-August/267437.html>

It should solved the hang issue. I’m worried it may cause spurious EOF
(missing a few packets at the end of the stream) which the following
patch tried to solve:
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/[email protected]/
 
<https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/[email protected]/>

Can you file a bug on https://trac.ffmpeg.org <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/> ?
