@Cleiton-Bueno thanks for your suggestion. I have disabled audio in my kernel completely now. Now I get the message CameraBin warning: "Could not open audio device for recording." which shows, that I really removed audio support.
Unfortunately, this still doesn't solve my basic issue, which is a extremely sluggish video output when the videoRecorder property is enabled in the Camera. That means, the audio encoding was not causing this problem at all.
Thx, Jens
