Tried the Alsa mixer. Audio works for other video files like DV with 
PCM, som also the Alsa mixer volum slideer. But not with the recorded 
Pulse default audio.

Trial_3_ with ALSA Audio input instead finally playbacks the audio !

As seen from mediainfo output below, the FFV1 1920x1080 video stream 
with 5 fps makes up 94%, the PCM audio 3%
In comparision the FFV! 720x576 video stream where the Hama ms2109 
capture manages 25 fps, the sizes are 95% and 3%
