Why not creating the variable in mux (or sout?) instead of input ?
Plus you don't check vlc_object_find() return value.

Also, is microsecond level really needed ? You can use milliseconds and
do the multiplication after getting the variable.

I won't comment on the usefullness because I have no clue :D
