My goal is to play a welcome melody each time I log in into the graphical environment (xfce4). I think I can realize it with the sessions-and-startup program and a short script, which starts vlc from the command line.

However, I am not able to start VLC without its GUI. I read here here some answers to this problem, but they did not work, for instance: vlc -I null does not work and vlc --intf dummy does not work either.

My VLC version is 2.2.2
