I guess it is time to walk away, licking my wounds.
Thanks for the help.
I posted my results here: http://tigger.ws/downloads/output.ts
What may be intersting/relevant:
I am using an i3 nuc. HTOP shows 4 cores (actually 2 + 2 threads) at 2-5% busy.
I can record audio or video endlessly without any issue, just not together.
I cannot see a reference to provide-clock=false and indeed
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not set property "provide-clock" in element "pulsesrc0" to "false!”
Cheers
James
