> [I'd prefer] the ability to pull from a source input instead of running a separate process with ffmpeg to push the stream over.
Could you elaborate on this? I don't understand what you mean by 'push' and 'pull' in this context.

It would be nice to have the ability to set up an app block that looked kind of like this
application source1 { exec fffmpeg -f decklink -i 'DeckLink Quad (1)@8' -f flv rtmp://localhost/app/$name }
ffmpeg is still pushing the stream to nginx, but nginx is in charge of starting that process.

Most streaming servers are bloated and slow. If nginx can do for video streaming what they've done for web servers it would be great.
