look for those lines in vlcrc:
#rc-unix=
#extraintf=

and put instead:
rc-unix=/tmp/vlc_socket
extraintf=rc


You can also have a look at http://wiki.videolan.org/Console

You'll need to connect to the unix socket, you can use socat for that.

keep us informed, if you succeed, that could be a good idea to share
your script with people using 0.8.6
