What i am trying to do is to do interprocess communication between a
custom rtp stack implemented in java and vlc. The idea is that i
generate rtp with the rtp stack in java and pass the data to vlc through
a named pipe (with a representation in the file system). This is to have
better efficiency and not using net resources.
