FFmpeg cannot do ANYTHING after receiving a SIGSTOP. So you would need either sending TSTP and see if it behaves better, or take it to the authors of pipewire.

I tried with SIGTSTP, no change or even worse. If ffmpeg is launched without a terminal emulator not only does audio continue being recorded, but video too. Ps output shows state Sl, so it's running. Apparently SIGTSTP is not caught.

Thanks.
