[vlc] VLC Python Bindings and --sout.

[Rick Sterling]

I am creating a little program in Python using the VLC Python Bindings.  One 
thing I can not get to work is streaming.  From a command line if I use the 
following command line streaming works as expected:

.../vlc/bin/vlc -I rc --sout 
'#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.254.254.250}'  test.mp3

In my Python application the following code will not work, and I cannot 
figure out why:

-----------
import vlc
import vlcwrapper

SLEEP = 3

mc=vlc.MediaControl([ "--verbose", "2", 
"--sout","#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.254.254.250}" ])
mc.playlist_add_item("test.mp3")

quit = 0
while (quit == 0):
         time.sleep(SLEEP)
----------

I get the following output from VLC:

I feel it has something to do with the way I am passing the --sout options.  
I have tried formatting the --sout options different but haven't been able 
to make it work.

If anyone knows where I am going wrong and can point it out I would 
appreciate it.
