I am using a capture card to capture HDMI audio from another machine.
On my host, output of arecord -l is as follow:
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
Home directory not accessible: Permission denied
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC283 Analog [ALC283 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: capture [ezcap U3 capture], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
The command that I use is:
sudo ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:CARD=capture,DEV=0 -t 30 test.wav -loglevel debug
When I ran the command, the log seems to freeze at 'Opening an input file' as below:

What is wrong with the command?
