Outlet points are where stream is not null and drainage direction is 
negative, e.g.

r.mapcalc "outlet_points = if(!isnull(streams) && drainage < 0, streams, 
null())"

That would give you outlet points whose cell value is the stream segment 
number leading to the outlet point.

All nodes of the stream vector, excluding outlet points?
