yes, of course. I'm trying to do a new interface using udp. I changed a little 
bit rc.c to prepared it to read commands from network as command line but 
remote. As I've used sockets to read commands, and I'd like to do several 
streaming using vlc. I'm trying to clone vlc (using sockets) to do several 
streaming using a unique vlc src.  I type vlc to run the main vlc, and vlc 
--clon=n to run its colnes.
Any suggestion? any doubt?

Thans for your help
