i didnt realize that "display" (as in -f sdl display) was an option i
needed to pass. its not listed anywhere else in the documentation or
options afaict. i thought it was referring to xv's "display_name"
subopt.

should i send a patch to add the "display" option to each outdev
documentation indicating this feature?

or maybe a nice wiki documentation like this:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Creating%20multiple%20outputs
