Hi Remi,

Thx for your answer. Yes i meant the Session Initiation Protocol, i will
try to implement it as an interface module. But there is another issue,
how can i make a way to let the user decide graphically his
preferences ? I mean, i added a notebook in the open dialogs but
clicking on OK make vlc look for an access2 module. Anyway to get
through this?
 
I didnt really understand the two last sentences though. Do i need to
spawn demuxer in the run() function, do i need to call vlc_object_*
routine? Can you give me some example´s location to help me do that ? 

It sounds to me that it is in contraction with the use of vlm though..
isn´t it ? 

Thx

alex
