Normally, in case satellite tuning is fine, VLC and LMS behave exactly
the same. Yes, there are always two overlapping HTTP connections, with
one being closed shortly after channel switch.

The behaviour is only different if the satellite tuner does not provide
audio. It seems to be some kind of intermediate state for LMS - as I
said you can't even pause the stream because there is none - it displays
still "Connection being established'. And then, you realize younger
nothing, and want to switch to another channel, and LMS does request the
new HTTP, but does not close the old one..... VLC instead does.

Yes, the streaming server accepts multiple connections, but it can only
provide multiple channels from the one transponder it is tuned to. It
cannot tune to two transponders at a time, but it in principle provide
all channels from one transponders. Of course at a certain stage there
will be also performance issues of the RasPi....
