I haven't seen any such thing when looking at the docs, but I can't 
imagine that it would be very tough to write such an interface.  Look at 
the -I command line option handling to vlc.  Adding an alternate 
interface should be straightforward, since they've gone to the trouble 
of abstracting the UI out from the core code already.

You could probably hack-and-slash the current telnet interface to do 
what you want.
