VLS follows the bitrate of the file. You won't be able to moderate it
(this feature would be a kind of 'transcoding'). So if you want to do
that, you have to work on the file before.

Such as piping from ffmpeg, which last I looked required making a fifo
and making a trivial<br>
change to vls to not do a seek on a fifo, though if you're talking
about having ffmpeg start<br>
when VLS says start, you'll need some way of having VLS start and fork
ffmpeg.<br>
