It turned out I was adding an extraneous space after the backslash at line
4:
/usr/bin/cvlc -vvv \
screen:// :screen-fps=30 \
--canvas-width=1280 --canvas-height=720 \
--sout-transcode-vcodec=h264 \
--sout-x264-profile=high --sout-x264-level=3.1 \
--sout-x264-vbv-maxrate=5000 --sout-x264-vbv-bufsize=8000
--sout-x264-vbv-init=0.2 \
--input-slave=pulse://alsa_output.pci-0000_00_03.0.hdmi-surround.monitor
--sout-transcode-acodec=aac \
...
That was a little bit stupid, sorry.
Please close the bug.
