Explain further, because I do not get what exactly you want to control.

If you are looking howto minimize jitter in streaming, then I suggest 
you use a Linux kernel (www.kernel.org) with the preemption patch 
(kpreempt.sourceforge.net).

Or are you trying to do RTP/RTCP in vls or vlc?

Which vls version are you using?
