exp/rvcl: adding default config option and opening VLC in the case of RTP output

If no config is given as arguments or file, then a default config is used. This is file input (25 FPS) with MPEG-TS packetization and RTP output. If RTP output is selected, a VLC window to receive the
stream is opened.
