Yeah, vlc-plugin-base will also install x11 related stuff.
Looking at ffmpeg it will install x11 related stuff and also some for
wayland stuff, and I also need an other utility to stream to multiple
devices.
Streamlink could do what I want with the '--player-external-http' option
but I would need ffmpeg to convert my stream to mp3 and can only stream
to one device at a time.
Given that vlc does all that I want in one program, I might aas well go
for it and try to be as selective as possible in what plugin I install.
Even with the verbose flag, vlc does not tell me what is missing, I'll
need to look at the docs to see how I can get vlc to be as verbose as
possible.
