VLS is configurabel through the telnet interface. If you like to have 
RTSP a quite fast solution is to
implement a small server that understands RTSP and talks telnet to VLS.

client ------> RTSP Server ------->(telnet) VLS

Implement only a subset of RTSP:
- SETUP
- TEARDOWN
- PLAY, etc.

Just enough to start and stop a stream.
