More info after long tests.
The error
Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer
in stream 0:
happens after at least 30 minutes recording. ie: Last time at 33:12
Few seconds before or after happens warning message
Past duration 0.xxxx too large

I tried with -af aresample=async=1 but still I get the error with 1
frame dropped.

What more to do?

As the errors are after 30 minutes, I could try to record by smaller
parts. To be sure, I would like a way to stop recording if an error
occurs. I tried -xerror but it's not working with this error.
Any idea how to do?
