I'm trying to make a screencast of a SDL game which I developed some years ago, with the following command:

sleep 5 && avconv -f x11grab -s 1366x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -same_quant screen_cast.mkv

(in this 5 seconds of sleep, I open the game).

But the generated video (screen_cast.mkv) doesn't capture audio.

I use for my game the SDL_Mixer library, with default configuration (22050 for frequency, AUDIO_S16SYS for format, and 2 channels).

What's the problem? (with options -f alsa -i pulse it doesn't work either).

Everytime I boot my Linux system, I get these errors while ALSA boots. Despite these, the sound still works, so these are more of an annoyance than anything. How do I stop these occuring?
