I wanted higher volume and as far as I can tell filter_complex is the
only choice to accomplish that.

Sorry, I thought you ment to redirct the output through a file
(a fifo is a file.) It filp frames on me, sometimes. And I think
I see the problem. when encoding I get this message at the same
place that the video falls out of sync. "*** drop!"
I also tried playing back the file using vlc but it got stuck
on a video frame too.

That was my idea, after all, I am trying to debug right?

Ok, I'll download the latest version, but I'm not going to compile
ffmpeg now.
