Comment (by Cigaes):

 Without synchronization, you will quite rapidly get one process trying to
 write on one pipe while the other is trying to read on the other. Since
 pipes have a small buffer, it will quite rapidly result in a deadlock.

 Since you are considering working with decoded raw video and audio, you
 should probably use the concat filter instead.
