You should have a look at the "es" sout module. It allows to separate
the different elementary streams of an input stream and to send it to
different destinations. The use of the "duplicate" module alo,g with a
"select=" statement will allow to achieve the same goal (with some more
options), at the cost of a less "straightforward" syntax...

Have a look at this page

http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch03.html

for a complete overview of the syntax.

Well, first of all, trickplay (FF, RW) hasn't been implemented in
our VOD server yet (this might come one day...). You should be able to
implement what you want using the vod option of vlm. Have a look here :

http://developers.videolan.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/doc/vlm.txt?rev=9402&view=markup

For a small doc about vlm. My only doubt here if is 

setup output "..." will let you use the es or the duplicate stream
output module in the case of a vod program...
