Ok, I just can't for the love of Darwin get a window to show up with any
DVB content. All looks perfectly ok, no evident errors in the log, the
signal gets locked on, programs probed and found, filters created etc.
Interesting. Maybe it needs a --vout=<something> option? Values like
"x11", "xvideo" don't do anything, nor does giving any arbitrary garbage
as the value trigger an error. So apparently vlc never gets so far as to
start parsing/using the value given with --vout?

The documentation isn't really too clear on this issue, and --help and
--longhelp don't say too much either. The debugging output doesn't say
what it lacks nor what resource/thingie it can't get a hold of. The amount
of options and their organization is a slight mess though, and it's more
or less impossible to know what to actually use. The online documentation
isn't really in sync with the inline help or what actually can be used...
I probably do something stupid again

Well, at least the data seems to be flowing in *some* form, even if it's
not really watchable yet. :)
