There appears to be a bug in libvlc's video output handling when using a stream output to duplicate/transcode the pipeline (which is what we do with the AudioDataOutput). This bug essentially prevents video output detection *entirely*, which is too big a problem TBH. There is a workaround, but it is not viable... we could also stream the video data to memory and iff there is data we were to assume that there is a video (this of course raises memory consumption and cpu consumption and therefore overall sluggishness, which is an expense I do not find worthwhile).
