It never stops of taking more and more memory. - The command line I'm using: {{{ ffmpeg -y -v 9 -loglevel 99 -i http://10.42.43.200:1245 -vn -ar 32000 -ac 2 -acodec pcm_s16le -f s16le test/test.raw }}} or {{{ ffmpeg -y -v 9 -loglevel 99 -i http://10.42.43.200:1245 -vn -ar 32000 -ac 2 -acodec pcm_s16le -f s16le - }}} - Full output: Well I have some outputs to attach.
