Upgraded VLC from 0.8 to 0.9, and when I start the app via console, it spits out some rather verbose (what appears to be) debugging info, and then the client simply hangs. Please see below. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Compile media-video/vlc-0.9.6. 2.Starting the app via it's button fails, so try command line: "vlc" 3.Copy/paste what's seen on the console, seen below.
