You can send PCM samples to VLC over UDP using RTP encapsulation.
Note that you'll need to downrate to 8-bits, or convert to 16-bits samples,
for this to work as there is no 10-bits PCM sample format. You will also
need to feed a proper format description SDP to VLC, so that it can learn
the non-standard sample rate (standard is 8000kHz, not 10kHz), IP/port
information and RTP payload format mapping.
VLC can resample to whatever the sound card is willing to accept, though
the resulting quality may vary.
