Research direction
Start with the linked OBS Studio log and the crash stack, focusing on obs-qsv11.so and libobs.so.30 calls on the audio-io thread and their interaction with libva and iHD_drv_video.so. Reproduce the listed start-and-stop recording steps on KDE Linux; done means stopping recording completes without an abort or equivalent crash.
