What you are trying to do can be done with the input-slave option of
VLC. However, input-slave requires demuxers to have been updated to a
new VLC API. All VLC's demuxers haven't been. I'm really not sure about
the wav and mjpeg demuxes. You should give it a try.

An alternative would be to use VLM (so command 2 independent VLC
instances from a single cli). However, since there will be no
synchronisation between the 2 instances, drifts may occur between audio
and video.
