Correct vlc only supports TS over RTP so your commandline becomes:
vlc file.mpg --sout rtp/ts://client

Correct, PS itself is not streamable and must be packaged in TS before 
it can be streamed.

Even with packaging PS into TS you stream the original content only 
chopped up differently. If you want a binary copy of the file, then you 
will have to revert to http or ftp streaming.

See above comments.
