Is this a documented feature? I thought that cvlc would only take one 
single input stream as argument. Otherwise, how would it know what to do 
with all the streams - where to display or send them all?

I know there can be multiple output streams though.

Edit: just looked it up. This is from the VLC wiki:

"You can specify multiple streams on the commandline. They will be 
enqueued in the playlist.
The first item specified will be played first."

So it seems that as long as data keeps on coming down the first stream, 
the subsequent streams are ignored.
