Yes, it is. The codebase would get ugly with a lot more IFDEF's probably...

Yes, we are aware of this. This could become an issue, because we would like
to
keep the DRM part separate from the GPL, for obvious reasons. The call into
the DRM system may be open, even so that other parties can incorporate their
own DRM system, but the decryption and especially the processing of
subscription
data should remain more or less 'secret', at least it should not be possible
for another user of your software to use his/her own adapted copy to 'hack'
into DRM protected files.
Any suggestions on how to solve this issue (Lesser GPL?) would be welcome:)

No, not the VLC part. And hopefully also not our DRM part ( :) ).
