Description

I try to stream audio from ffmpeg/arecord but it returns nothing. Is it possible to do this?
My command:

 arecord -D plughw:0,0 -f S16_LE -c 1 -r 16000 -t wav | env PARAKEET_DEVICE=cpu ./build/examples/cli/parakeet-cli transcribe \
          --model /mnt/storage/models/mudler/parakeet-cpp-gguf/nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b-f16.gguf \
          --input - \
          --stream \
          --lang ru

Research direction

Start by reproducing the command with arecord and build/examples/cli/parakeet-cli, using the cited model, --input -, and --stream options. Trace how the CLI reads stdin and determine whether live microphone input produces incremental transcription; done means the command accepts the audio stream and returns transcription instead of nothing.
