To clarify: I was definitely proposing that the change be made in the ffmpeg program.  The appearance of SIGPIPE is a surprise to many people, and keeping the default disposition here does cause ffmpeg to behave significantly differently on Unix and Windows without any obvious reason why to those not familiar with it.

Sure.  That can be independent of any change to signal behaviour, though.
