Sorry, I failed to understand how to continue after a write error.
I couldn't find examples either, the few backends I tried didn't
handle it:

alsa: video hangs
oss: video hangs
pulse: process loops displaing an error message
jack: process gets SIGPIPE and terminates

FWIW, I prodiced write errors by disconnecting the usb audio device
in use (alsa or oss) or by terminating the server process (pulse or
jack).
