Comment 13 for bug 208579

I had been removing vlc-plugin-pulse as a workaround for bug 190754. VLC going through pulse can't even play a 128k mp3 under zero load without skipping on my system.

Now that's impossible. Of course, I can just run 'vlc --aout ALSA'. But this is bringing me closer to just removing pulse entirely, the opposite of the intended effect.

Running vlc through ALSA with everything else on pulse has never been a problem here, and certainly has not caused the lockups rumored above.
