Yes, perhaps - although I'm not really sure what you mean by your 
step 3.  Do you plan to use VLC or Helix as a server (i.e., a 
transmitter)?  If so, then you really don't need to do this, because 
we have our own RTSP/RTP server implementation.

Read the FAQ, and play around with the demo applications (especially 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer").
