[vlc] Re: Zaurus Stopping Once Network Stream Received

[Masiyowski, John]

Jean,

It is possible for a command line argument to be added to vlc (for all
versions, platforms) baseline that specifies an input timeout value.  This
timeout value would apply when receiving input from a network stream. If
nothing has been received and the timeout expires, then vlc would self
terminate.
