I have hooked up a VLC client to a VLM server in a semi-successful manner. The VLC client and the VLM server are both VLC 0.8.2-test2. Both the client are server machines are running XP SP2.
The VLM server is running as an NT service, and there are some problems with getting the server to load more than one audio (mp3) file at a time, but generally speaking a single mp3 file loaded into VLM as an "on demand" object (with VLM is running as an NT service on XP SP2) will play using RTSP from the VLC client to the VLM server.
However, tonight, in order to try and improve sound quality I turned on QoS in a LINKSYS WRT54G router, and the following messages started to appear in the messages window of the VLC client:
main warning: PTS is out of range (5051193), dropping buffer
It looks like a buffer over run.
The VLM server will not play anything now that QoS is turned on.
Could the quality of service improvement in the router be causing a buffer over run problem in the VLC client?

video streaming is usually considered less then critical data, so if you turn on QoS on the router, then it won't give the video packets the priority they need.
They arrive way too late, resulting in audio buffers that are way too late, resulting in dropped data.

Don't use PMs for support questions.
