Not standard input, no. What it does is create a temporary file to
contain the result, and inserts that file name on the command line. This
is good for programs that require an actual file, not standard input.

So the above usage seems right to me: the ‘ffmpeg -i FOO’ option is
provided with a filename dynamically created by Bash, referring to a
temporary file that contains the output of the subshell.
