Can i Use VLC to stream sound from my microphone ?

[jojosucks]

Hey,

I'm a french student and i'm trying to make up a software that must communicate (video & sound) with an embedded system. In my software, I must have a little preview window of my webcam, and this video (with the sound of my microphone) must be send by RTP (MPEG). At the same time I have to read a mpeg4 stream file that was sent from the embedded system.

In which part of my application do you think i can use VLC ?

I'm kind of lost by your description

Are the mic and web cam on the embedded device (and do you want to display those on another PC)? Or is it something else?

yes actually there are a mic and a cam on the embbeded device and i want to display them in a software and there are also a cam and a webcam on the PC and i want to stream audio and video in order we can read them from the embedded device

So basically both stream video and audio to the other.
If your embedded device has enough resources to run a decent OS (linux) and VLC, you can use VLC on both to do the streaming / displaying.

allright ... and i'll be able to do that using the api ? or i'll have to use vlc with commands ?

Both would work. (Although using VLC command line would be easier to start with)
