I did not realise that it could ever read pbf files from stdin?

Reading osm files from stdin used to be supported, and I am just
about to commit a change to re-instate it.

There is currently no --cache parameter: the pbf is the new cache
format, so you should just convert to pbf with osmosis and use that.
Once splitter can write pdf, then I suppose it could be re-instated so 
that you could convert from osm and get the speed benefit of pbf in
the later stages automatically if there was any great calling for that.

If you are reading from stdin, you need the --split-file parameter
and only one pass can be made (and always have, as far as I am aware).

The documentation will need to be updated.
