Thanks Moritz, very useful informations. I solved my issue.

An additional hint:
"aevalsrc" generates a mono track by default: using "-ac 2" option causes
some kind of audio mixing and output level, when converted to stereo, is
3dB lower.
This can be solved setting "channel_layout=stereo" directly in "aevalsrc"
filter options.
