I would say if someone with PulseAudio (and ALSA redirecting to it) wants to get sound from VLC he should one of these:
- Add himself to the audio group? Some people have reported to work.
- Remove alsa-plugins-pulse package.
- Use VLC with EsounD?
- Ask Packman to package vlc-plugin-pulse
I tried your 3 first tips. But I can't find vlc-plugin-pulse with the software manager, in the packman reposery.
