Does the main thread spawn Audio/video output thread?

[Hughes]

hi, all!
I'm reading the VLC's Hacker's guide, and find this sentence:

the main thread becomes the interface thread.
It passes through the following steps:
1.CPU detection
*
8.Audio output thread spawning ;
9.Video output thread spawning ;

but when I'm reading the VLC's source code (the version is vlc-0.8.6h),
I cann't find the source code that Audio/video output thread is spawned in the main thread.

Does the main thread spawn Audio/Video output thread ? If it does, in which function?

who can answer my question, Thanks very much!

This guide is completely outdated.

Thanks!

so when I read the source code (the newest version), the Hack's guide isn't useful.

Is there another other useful document?
