AFAIK, VLC demuxes all the stream before resending it. So, yes, if
caching is big enough, (use --udp-caching=time in ms for instance),
using a VLC as a proxy should help reducing jitter. The problem could
however be that VLC sometimes tend to be quite senstive itself to jitter
on the input stream...
