Unfortunately, some of the relevant api for writing something like
phonon-backend-vlc does live in libvlccore. I guess it could be
copied/duplicated/reimplemented, but it is there.
libvlc has api for vmem plugin to stream video into memory and callbacks
require you to calculate buffer
size/stride/pitch/visiblepitch/visiblestride for each chroma supported.
libvlccore has code to help doing that.
vlc_chroma_description_t for example.
Also note that I not fully undestand what I wrote above.
