[streaming] VLM syntax...an update

[Anthony Benjammin DeNardo III]

I have 5 hauppague cards encoding 5 separate streams.  if I launch 5 
instances of VLC, I can see the SAP announcements, and all 5 "channels" 
can be viewed.

I cannot: launch one instance of VLC ,and get VLM to stream these 5.  1 
works fine, can't get the second to work
I cannot: launch these streams from the command line.

from the GUI, I select Open Capture Device, which translates to pvr:// 
pvr-device=/dev/video1.  I can't find anything in the vlc man page which 
suggests this is an option from the command line.  the ONLY difference 
in the 5 streams is the X in /dev/videoX.  the cards are assigned 
video1-video5.  again, opening them individually per instance of VLC 
works fine, even all of them simultaneously (with 5 instance of VLC).

this is not a stable solution for broadcasting our content.  have I 
found a limit in VLC, or is someone else able to stream 5 streams from 5 
capture devices in one box?  are there truly functions available from 
the GUI which cannot be accessed via the command line or VLM?
