That is not exactly that, but almost. The problem is that ffmpeg arbitrarily
decides to try to get a frame for out0, but beyond 4, there will be no more
frames, but select can not know it unless it tries. Since filters are
required to return a frame when asked to, it continues to pull on its side
of split, never leaving a chance to the other side to run.

Dropping the requirement and adding a timestamp to avoid that kind of pull
loop is amongst my projects.

In the meantime, you can use trim=end=4 instead of select: since it is
higher level it knows that there will be no more frames after 4 and returns
EOF.

You could feed the same input to several filter graphs.
