For RTCP support there is a branch svn.videolan.org/branches/0.8.6-rtcp 
it implements the RFC 3550 from IETF. The current status is:

To start working checkout the RTCP branch at:

svn co svn.videolan.org/vlc/branches/0.8.6-rtcp

In the directory modules/mux/rtp is the source code.

What has been done:
- partial implementation of RFC 3550 (except RTCP scheduling code)
- RTCP packet decoding and encoding function (not tested and not 
compiled) Apart from compiler errors this should be fairly complete. No 
quarantee though ;-)
- Some higher level scheduling algorithms (not entirely finished)

What should be done:
1- Read RFC 3550 (http://www.ietf.org)
2- VLC Coding Style ;-)
3- RTCP streamout VLC module (get session information from RTSP/HTTP)
4- common server socket listening code to be shared with RTSP/HTTP/RTCP
5- Compiling/building
6- Testing against VLC's live555 module
7- testing against live RTP/RTCP servers.

Gtz,
Jean-Paul Saman
