Hello

first of all, be aware that these features are still quite exeprimental.
Some documentation about VLM (what you are using here) can be found in
the vlm.txt file documentation of the source tree of VLC. Basically,
made a mix between 2 type of streaming methods (VOD and standard "push"
streaming), and fogot some parametters.
