Hi, I've had issues with VLC on other GNU/Linux distros too (and got really annoyed with the last Android update that no longer played .ogg files on earlier iterations). Why not give SMPlayer a try? I think it is in the Software Channel. ;) :D

I had the same issue: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14633#p64770
Install alsa-utils and disable automute on its control panel.

I figure I may as well be of some use instead of always whining for help. ;)
