I have been loosely slowly and inconclusively working toward this aim.... for 
the past three years: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/297 - I think the 
main blocker, has been lack of demonstrated interest from "external" 
developpers.

It is fairly clear that it currently does not work, but it would help a lot 
with clearer targets... such as a well defined "thing" that would be built 
outside the tree to start with.

By th way, Pierre, it seems libvlc is "native bindings" are currently 
unusable - I cannot seem to include vlc/libvlc.h out-of-the-box. See also the 
new test cases.
