No worries:) Yes, it actually does. There is a file, with the proper format, so it can be "played". If you use some of the other mergAV commands to get the duration you'd probably find that it's of zero length or duration.
So you are "playing" it, but it since there is no length and nothing in it, your player plays exactly what is in the file... nothing and therefore no audio. Once you stop recording to that file, the data is written out to it, "filling it out". If you now play it, you still get exactly what's in the file... but now it has length and data so you get audio. Hope that helps!
