Check out www.opencsw.org!!
There's a VLC package in there.
But that's quite old (0.7.2) like most of the other packages I've seen there...

Perhaps, but then again it is a cheap and easy way to get VLC into OSol
without having to compile from source which depending on the software
can be rather tricky especially if a spec file hasn't been developed for
it... even with spec files as I still don't understand how to use them yet!
I think that Blastwave is no more and of course there is always Sun
Freeware which is tedious as dependencies need to be installed manually.
Yeah OSol can be a bit tricky with multimedia apps especially streaming
audio/video. For that I went FreeBSD on my internet radio station but
would love to see all the juicy software bits in the OSol repos. I think
it will just take a lot of time to get there though, that is IF it
manages to get there in the first place as I know there are various
licensing issues bla bla bla....
I mean wouldn't it be so awsome if OSol could totally dismember and
dismantle Linux altogether as a full replacement?? - I am not fully
there yet but then I have Vbox for the Linux stuff I can't get working
in OSol.
