That's not necessarily a bad idea.  It seems to me that VLC's forte is its 
codec, rendering and GUI.  If much (if not all) of its low-level streaming 
functionality could instead be provided by other open source code that *it 
already links with* (to play RTSP streams), then that would make the 
VLC-specific code simpler and (ultimately) more reliable.

Let me try to make things easier by asking: Does VLC currently have any 
significant network streaming functionality that is *not* currently 
available in the LIVE.COM libraries?  If so, let me know, and I'll look 
into adding this to the LIVE.COM code - so we can move towards migrating 
VLC to use this for more of its streaming functionality.
