[vlc-devel] Re: interprocess communication?

[Steven Brown]

Hi John,

If it is not too much trouble, I would be interested in those steps.  
Whether I do anything with them depends on how much jig is required.  =)
I just want to clarify, it is not possible to do this workaround without 
modifying the source and recompiling vlc, correct?

Thanks a lot!

Steve
