e.g. when copying some streams and transcoding the others.
+@item -thread_message_queue @var{size} (@emph{input})
+This option sets the maximum number of queued packets when reading from the
+file or device. With low latency / high rate live streams, packets may be
+discarded if they are not read in a timely manner; raising this value can
+avoid it.

@item -override_ffserver (@emph{global})
Overrides the input specifications from @command{ffserver}. Using this
option you can map any input stream to @command{ffserver} and control
