Is it possible to completely disable video output?

Hi!

I often listen stand-up comedies and cabarets and radio recordings form youtube. I would like to completely disable the video output, because it is usually only a still picture, and run VLC with a command line interface, or no interface at all. I have tried this command, but still showing some video output:

Code: Select all

vlc -I dummy --vout aa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkazdSPJAa8

How can I achieve to completely disable video and avoid the graphical interface (to save my system resources)?

Did you try --vout dummy?
