Well, kazam now works with the webm format, but the video output is far from perfect.

1) The audio and the video streams are not always very well synchronized.

2) When I try to open the video with Totem, I have this error:
====================================================
Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem. Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer.
====================================================
I can watch the video only with the gnome sushi files preview

This is the debug log:
