That's interesting. Maybe the mythffmpeg is crashing, in which case the  
script may well hang.

Another test is to try it in a terminal with a very low audio threshold,  
ie:

silence.py 14065 --loglevel debug --preset -50

That should produce lots of detections/logging, so we can see if it starts  
or how far it gets.

Could you also post the result of "mythffmpeg -i" on the problem  
recording, probably:

mythffmpeg -i <path>/1043_20141015125000.mpg
