Just to confirm, having same issue. Will supply any logs if wanted. ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r2 vlc-0.8.1 a52dec-0.7.4-r4
Fixed the a52 stuff in portage, the -l adding was being done in the wrong file. Added it to configure so it would apply to config.mak and trickle down to the other makefiles. This is fixed in ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r2 btw.
Excuse my ignorance. You say this is fixed in -r2? I'm using -r2 and I believe Horace says he is as well. I don't exactly understand what you say the resolution is. Using the versions I mentioned (which are the latest versions in ~x86), I get exactly the same error in configuration as Horace did.
They weren't revision-bumped. Just re-emerge ffmpeg and it then vlc will be fixed.
