PayPalValve released another update to the Steam Beta Client for Steam Deck and Desktop Steam, which includes more improvements and tweaks to Game Recording.
Here's what the listed in the Desktop changelog:
General
- Fixed some outdated or missing strings in non-English languages.
Game Recording
- Fixed layout issues in the BPM Game Recording settings page.
- Added export time to the progress bar in the send to phone dialog.
- Increased Instant Clip default duration from 10s to 30s.
- Fixed a race condition which could prevent audio recording.
- (Windows) Prevent Windows mixer settings from affecting output level when recording game audio.
Linux
- Fixed native titles occasionally running in the wrong runtime.
And then for the Steam Deck changelog:
General
- Fixed some outdated or missing strings in non-english languages.
Game Recording
- Fixed layout issues in the BPM Game Recording settings page.
- Added export time to the progress bar in the send to phone dialog.
- Instant clip default duration increased from 10s to 20s.
- Instant clip duration is now configurable in gaming mode.
Linux
- Fixed native titles occasionally running in the wrong runtime.
They're mostly the same apart from the difference in timing on the clip defaults for Game Recording, and Valve added the clip duration configuration to the Steam Deck's Gaming Mode.

I had 'save the last xx seconds' set to shift+F12 and when they added 'start/stop saving a clip' they also defaulted it to shift+F12. I had no idea and it resulted in two mangled clips (saved at the same time) which steam sees but cannot play. The files are there but I have no idea how to open and manage them, they don't seem to be in a proper media format. Any suggestions? It was a nice clip, or would have been. ;-)

Switching to Big Picture Mode seems to be broken on many Linux distros. It lags horribly unless you have steam launch directly into it. I hope they fix that soon.

Is it possible to only record game audio and not all desktop audio? There's a setting but it's grayed out for me.

Each recording has its own directory with a lot of files in it, most of them .m4s.
mpv/vlc are capable of playing the first few seconds when pointed to session.mpd file (which doesn't work either in the case I described) but afaik the whole recording can only be played via Steam client (it can be exported, in whole or in part, to .mp4 from there). At least I haven't found another way to open these files. :-/

It would be nice if they could fix AMD Linux Desktop video streaming to Steam Deck. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't (to be more specifically under Wayland aka Sway.)
