Was this the implicit explanation for the described behavior, or just a
remark?

Because if not the former, I can provide another observation. ;-)

The intention seems to have been to provide 1500 frames for about one
minute of video plus audio. At 25 fps, that would have been
appropriate. By reducing the frame rate to 1 fps, only about 60 frames
are required, which matches Spencer's observation.

On the other hand, this would mean that "-shortest" is implicitly
applied here. (Creation of the output ends when the audio track ends,
even though the input video is sufficient for another 1440 seconds.) I
though that needed to be stated explicitly? (I'm not sure, but that's
what I read from the documentation.)
