I do this by having one vlc send its stream to a local multicast
address, then have multiple VLCs 'mirror' that stream to other
protocols as need be.


                                __vlc---> multicast udp
                               /
 Content ---> vlc --multicast-<
                               \__vlc---> unicast udp
                                \
                                 \__vlc---> HTTP

Then just start and stop different vlc reflectors as needed.

Ideally yes, you could get one vlc process to do this, but until
that is supported, this is quite effective.
