Bug#513177: Split X11 video output and QT4 UI from vlc package

[Eric Beuque]

Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.4

I'm trying to build a software based on LibVLC in a GTK GUI, where you can
see a screenshot here :

As you can see, the video integration works perfectly when I install the vlc
packages.
The problem is that it needs to install QT4 libraries, what it's not really
cool for a GTK program, and a Gnome based distrib.

So I try to install only the vlc-nox package but it just allow me to play
sound in my software and not the video output.

You can have a look at the discussion here :
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=55123

So I think it could be nice if we can have different packages :
- vlc-nox : multimedia player and streamer (without X support)
- vlc : multimedia player and streamer (with X support without QT or GTK
dependencies)
- vlc-qt : actual UI for vlc media player
- vlc-gtk : maybe for a futur GTK vlc media player

Thanks for you're times.

You're sincerely
Beuque Eric
