Yup, sound works: I was listening to Herbie Hancock while writing the first post... with banshee...

I obtained VLC fron the VLC repository
So I did like you said: I deleted the VLC repository, and installed VLC from packman (which was already installed), and w32codec-all and xvid.

But it still doesn't work
When I try to open a video (avi, mkv, wmv) file, it returns a error message without details, or VLC simply kills itself. With mp3s, it opens, it seems to play it, but there's no sound.

I thought that VLC is "shipped" with all the codecs (except realmedia ones).
