I was able to work around this by instantiating multiple instances of VLC and passing the different startup options to each.

There used to be a library call "VLC_VariableSet," which appears to have been removed quite some time ago. That's exactly the functionality I'm looking for- a way to set a VLC variable via a library call. Is there any way to do that today?

I have VLC streaming a police scanner. Audio comes in from the hardware audio-in jack. When listening to the stream from a remote location (e.g., a phone) it's difficult to know whether the stream gets disconnected because the audio is not constant, as is the nature of scanner traffic. What I'd like...
