Cleanly shutdown / finish encoding when interrupting the recording externally via GNOME Shell's video recording indicator button

• Flatpak: true
• Experimental: false
• Distribution: GNOME 45 (Flatpak runtime)

• Libadwaita 1.4.3
• GStreamer 1.22.10

Bug summary

When interrupting recording via GNOME Shell, Kooha should still be able to finish encoding a valid file.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start recording with Kooha
2. Click GNOME Shell's orange video recording indicator button in the system menu (top-right corner), as it is faster / more convenient than fishing out Kooha's window from within the pile of windows.

Current result: Kooha outputs a broken video file in this situation.

Expected result: if possible, I would still expect Kooha to finalize the recording into a playable video file (after all, this works fine with GNOME Shell's built-in video recorder), instead of a corrupt file.

I have attempted to fix this before, but haven't spent enough time. :D It's harder than I thought; a fix in pipewire may be needed upstream.

experiencing this on Arch linux x86_64, installed with pacman, kooha version 2.3.0-6, with kernel 6.10.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
Works OK with the recording stopped by the Kooha UI, but NOT OK with GNOME (version 46.4) panel button.
