libvlccore is the core part of VLC. It is the heart of VLC, powering the LibVLC library and providing the internal infrastructure for a lot of functionality such as stream access, audio and video output, plugin handling, a thread system. All the libvlccore source files are located in the src directory and its subdirectories:

src/android Configuration code specific to VLC on Android.
src/audio_output initializes the audio mixer, ie. finds the right playing frequency, and then resamples audio frames received from the decoder(s).
src/config Contains code to parse command line arguments and vlcrc files.
src/darwin Configuration code specific to VLC on Mac OS X.
src/extras Some extra functions to complement the C library.
src/input Opens an input module, reads packets, parses them and passes reconstituted elementary streams to the decoder(s).
src/interface Contains code for user interaction such as key presses and device ejection.
src/misc Miscellaneous utilities used in other parts of VLC, such as the thread system, the message queue, the object lookup system, the variable system or CPU detection.
