As a matter of fact, there is indeed some redundancy between vls and vlc
stream  output features.  vls  has been  the  first streaming  soltution
available,  ans stillhas  support for  some features  vlc doesn't  have.
Moreover, vls is still less resource consuming than vlc

We took the decision to implement  vlc stream output since vlc input was
far  more tolerant  to different  kinds of  files than  vls. It  was for
instance the easiest solution to stream MPEG4 files. That certainly also
explains the fact some MPEG 1/2 files can only be streamed using vlc.
