How to configure VLC as audio server on demand?

[pacoITA]

I should implement an application capable of requesting(client side) a song from a playlist (residing on Server side) using RTP/RTSP protocol.

I read it's possible to use VLC as Server for Video on demand, so I would know how to use it for audio streaming on demand and how to configure it with the proxy(written in Java) by wich the requests are managed.

Thanks all in advance for any help!!!

I have used VLC for this purpose.
As far as I remember I changed the format of audio files from mp2 to the mpeg2. I do not know if this was really necessary, but it was successful.

then, you have to use vlm, or the telnet interface to manage incoming requests. i did not used rtsp, I managed the requests manually using python.

Can you please let us how you configured your VCL as RTSP server? Or can you please give us the command line parameters for this?
