[Gambas-user] ffmpeg locking up Shell

[Bruce Steers]

bonus:~$ ffmpeg -i '/media/bonus/Elements/Developer/My
Albums/JustSaying/Good for us/Goddess Woman.wav' 2>&1|grep Duration
  Duration: 00:02:55.18, bitrate: 2116 kb/s
bonus:~$

I'm back to command prompt so in terminal it's exited okay.

V puzzling
