  I have been trying to do this few days ago, but had only few minutes
to try :). I think it is totally possible to do this : with ffmpeg [..]
- you send stream to the stdout. You should try to create a fifo with
mkfifo, redirect the ffmpeg stream with "> /sarass/fifo" and configure
your vls.cfg as it is for the kfir example :

BEGIN "Inputs"
  # --- Video input example
  #  kfir         = "video"

  ffmpeg         = "video"
  
END
  
BEGIN "ffmpeg"
 Device        = "/sarass/fifo"           # the fifo you've created
 Type          = "Mpeg2-PS"
END

And type in telnet  stuff like :

bozo at vls > start kfir localhost video

It should work, isn't it ?
