[FFmpeg-user] How to terminate cleanly a recording on Windows

Hi there,

I'm trying to record lots of small wav files to give to PocketSphinx for
adaptation.
My command looks like this:
ffmpeg.exe -f dshow -i audio="Microphone sur casque (2- Plant" -acodec
pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 1.wav

I haven't tried this particular command under Linux, but usually hitting
"q" ends the recording properly.
On Windows, "q" seems to do nothing, and CTRL+C ends the process, but not
at the right time. Most of the time, I miss the end of the recording. My
recordings are just a few seconds long.

Would there be any clever way to end properly the recording on Windows?
