Be careful, you declared a "xvideo-xinerama" config option but you are 
trying to use a "xinerama" config option. This is why it doesn't work.
The current guideline concerning the config options names is to append the 
name of the plugin which defines them so that there can't be namespace 
collisions between plugins, this is why you should use "xvideo-xinerama".

By the way, if you use "vlc -H" you will see your config option has been 
appended to the already existing command line options for the xvideo 
plugin.
