Doesn't work when a virtual sink is passed as audio device #74

I'm using arch linux with Hyprland on wayland, it works great when I pass my headphones to the --audio-device argument but if I try to run it using a virtual sink as an audio device then it looks like everything is working but the process never stops.

I tried with "pkill wl-screenrec" and "killall -s SIGINT wl-screenrec", it just goes on giving "0 fps" indefinitely, only way to stop it is using "pkill -9 wl-screenrec" and then the file gets corrupted. Again this happens only when I try to use my virtual sink, which I want to use so discord audio doesn't get into the recording.

I'm using Pipewire.

Could you give some more detailed instructions on how to reproduce? How do you create this virtual sink? What is your commandline?

i dunno what he to get "0 fps" indefinitely, but for people having the same issue, follow my way on how to get both desktop and microphone audio: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3727605

wl-screenrec --audio --audio-device microphone_and_desktop_audio.monitor --low-power=off --filename $(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%m-%s).mp4"
