Yes, the video would be lost.  pressing "w" one time, the video goes to black with white and purple oblique line. pressing "w" again, the video goes to complete black, pressing "w" one more time, the video comes back.  
Am I correctly describe the video state?

Nice!!  With above command, I can playback all audio correctly.  I'm happy aren't I?
So if I can playback audio with above ffplay command, don't I need to downmix audio at the timing of encoding?
