How to synchronize another application with VLC.

Hello,

I'm writing an application on Linux and I would like to use it together with VLC (as separate programs but running at the same time).
I would like to receive signals (DBUS?) form VLC about the elapsed time of the video which is being played back, so I can adjust/synchronize
my program to the "speed" of VLC.

Does VLC provide any signalling or interface? I prefer a solution which does not need to hack and (re)compile VLC.

Regards.

Use the dbus control interface then.
