fake:// Input does not work as slave in real-time

As reported in: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=66259

With VLC 0.9.8 following script worked correctly, but with VLC 1.0.2 it fails. Tested under Win32.

vlc.exe fake:// --fake-file="test.jpg" --fake-duration=9999999999 --fake-file-reload=5 --input-slave="music.mp3" --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=4000,fps=25,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,sfilter=marq@nowplaying{marquee=' '}}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst='output.mpg'}}" --sout-transcode-audio-sync -I rc --rc-host=localhost:5000 --rc-quiet

And messages from 1.0.2
