I have a USB codec (ADC) plugged into a Windows laptop and I have VLC on
that laptop playing the USB codec source through the laptop speakers. 
I've tried to setup VLC to (also) stream that source, but I cannot get
my SB Touch to stream from it.  Settings are:

Laptop IP : 192.168.0.101

VLC stream settings (4 different attempts):
(i) Stream via http, localhost, port 1234
(ii) Stream via http, 192.168.0.101, port 1234
(iii) Stream via rtp, 192.168.0.101, port 1234
(iv) 'Stream locally' ticked, Stream via http, localhost, port 1234

Laptop firewall settings: VLC has open access on all ports, either
direction

Using 'tune in a URL' on SBS, http://192.168.0.101:1234, 'click on
play', SBT tries to contact http://192.168.0.101, for a few seconds,
then stops.

I'd be grateful for any advice, and in particular,
(a) Is this approach feasible, using VLC to stream a local source across
the LAN to an SBT?
(b) Will SBT work ok with an http url such as I've been using?
(c) if anyone else uses VLC, which settings ought I be using?  Should I
'tick' 'stream locally', and do I need to also fill in the url field on
VLC's stream menu?

Would be grateful for any suggestions. 

regards, Atlantic
