+Allows capturing the primary stream (not additional audio tracks or other
+kind of streams) into the file specified by \-dumpfile or \"stream.dump\"
+by default.
+If this option is given, capturing can be started and stopped by pressing
+the key bound to this function (see section INTERACTIVE CONTROL).

+Note that, due to cache latencies, captured data may begin and end
+somewhat delayed compared to what you see displayed.
