Unusual audio problem in VLC on openSUSE 42.1 (I don't use Pulse)

A note to folkpuddle. I do understand the idea behind pulse audio. I understand much of what it can do and more importantly, I understand some things that it fails to do. Although I didn’t get much help with my actual problem, likely because my situation is unusual, almost every post here was made by people that were trying to add useful information. That wound be a very good model for everyone to follow.

Absolutely 100%.
I mistook you for one of those users who think pulseaudio is the driver and not the organiser - people often do, you know.
I myself was one of them, now I proselytise when I can.

As for your problem you fixed it over several posts of your own before any other forum replies - all the helpful posts came after my terse posting.

Season’ Greetings to you and yours.
