External applications are supposed to be built on top of libvlc. Expectedly, 
their interface will sit on top of libvlc, not as a plugin to libvlc.

Yes.

Modules are loaded more or less automatically, yes

There is no old API (anymore).
There is an internal/unstable API for modules, and an external/stable API for 
third party applications and language bindings.
