When playing FLAC or Ogg FLAC files which are not 16 bit coded with VLC media player the audio volume is incorrectly scaled. In the case of 24 bit audio it is much too quiet.
Please post your `emerge --info' and `emerge -vp media-video/vlc

Could you please point me to a non 16 bits flac sample ? (or attach it) I have some but they are very small :(
Suitable test data: http://web.bethere.co.uk/sfairchild/audio/24bit.flac
should be fixed in 0.9.0
