Hi,

I don't talk for vlc developers, but according to this page:
http://www.videolan.org/streaming/
"Most of the VLS functionality can now be found in the much better VLC
program. Usage of VLC instead of VLS is advised."
So except you need a specific function in VLS, VLC can do streaming as
well as VLS does.

Regards,
Eric
