Then i have run through the same test cycle. I could actually have 
stopped already after running "v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext" with regards 
to the fps.
Yet I updated the encoding syntaxes and got the audio streams seemingly 
recorded. But for some some reason I could not hear any sound in my 
airphones.


ffmpeg -hide_banner -f pulse -i default -f v4l2 -framerate 25 
-video_size 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -codec:v ffv1 -level 3 -codec:a 
pcm_s16le -f matroska 1280x720_2_ffv1.mkv

ffprobe -hide_banner 1280x720_2_ffv1.mkv

Is 4KVC00 from "V AV access" still the best option as replacement?
