Of course it does not work. vout (and aout and sout) are not parented to the 
input thread anymore. For that to work correctly, aout&vout recycling, and 
sout-keep would have to be undone.

Yes. And you can infer that it never worked correctly, since the variables 
would be inherited from the first input, rather than the current input.

It's not a bug.
