this update has a high priority for me, as it fixes a flac playback regression: 

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9863

fuirthermore i am not able to downgrade, because 2.0.x crashes with pulseaudio 4.0 for me (very exotic configuration/shoundcard; therefore this bg is not reported).

@Till just a renamed ebuild in you local overlay with all files/patches will do the job

I'm bisecting another recording related regression between 2.0 and 2.1; once that is done and I checked the bugs, I'll bump this. Other preparations to the 9999 ebuilds were already done...
Comment 4 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-12-15 23:07:38 UTC
Hmm, that bisect is a bummer because it is a recording resolution regression that works in 2.0.x and is broken in 2.1.x; I've now find a common commit between both in v4l2, however to get that common commit to compile I need to backport some commits from 2.1.x on top of it.

From that moment on I can continue the bisect; but as that will take some time and is just so I can stop using 2.0.x, I'll proceed with the version bump...

+  15 Dec 2013; Tom Wijsman <TomWij@gentoo.org> +vlc-2.1.2.ebuild,
+  vlc-2.1.9999.ebuild, vlc-9999.ebuild:
+  Do not use the --started-from-file parameter on USE="-dbus" in 2.1.2 and
+  newer; fixes bug #491618, reported by Peter Wood. Version bump to 2.1.2; fixes
+  bug #493856, reported by Ulenrich.

Thank you for reporting.

@TomWij
If the recording regression has any thing todo with

swscale, avcodec and YUVA formats 

then look 2013-12-10 at

Yep, that might have been it; however, there is still this regression in 2.1.x:

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10148

This indeed appears fixed in 2.2.x; but, 2.2.x introduced recording regressions.

So, I might try to figure out whether I can backport that fix to 2.1.x; as for 2.2.x, getting that to work might or might not be another round of bisecting...
