macOS: EasyAudioEncoder writes ~632 GB in 18 hours during video loudness analysis

Server Version#: 1.43.5.11029-6bf8af3f0 Platform: native macOS 27.0.1, Apple Silicon, 16 GB RAM, approximately 256 GB internal SSD. I am reporting unexpectedly high disk writes associated with EasyAudioEncoder while Plex performs loudness analysis of video libraries. This creates a serious SSD endurance concern and substantial background I/O on a machine whose system disk is nearly full.
