Did you read Carl Eugen's hint that there may be some format conversion involved, which you can avoid if you request the correct format from ALSA (IIUC)? https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2019-February/043140.html Aprart from that, encoding to WAV (i.e. PCM) is extremely easy on the CPU, unlike encoding to "more" compressed formats.
