dedia-video/vlc-1.1.4 is now stable, but in my system it needs alsa-lib-1.0.23 and alsa-headers-1.0.23, for its sound to work when playing DVD video. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. vlc 2. select disc 3. play Actual Results: a window will pop up saying the sound needs alsa-lib-1.0.23 and above Expected Results: playing video and sound properly. emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/powerpc/ppc64/10.0/64bit-userland, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.2-r3, 2.6.36-gentoo ppc64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.36-gentoo-ppc64-PPC970,_altivec_supported-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 09 Nov 2010 01:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p7 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r3 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.3-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.6.3-r1, 1.7.9-r2, 1.8.5-r4, 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4, 4.4.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.35 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc64 -fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc64 -fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/ http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ " LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en_US zh_CN" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib accessibility acl aiglx alsa altivec asf aspell automount berkdb browserplugin bzip2 cairo cdr chardet cjk cli consolekit cpdflib cracklib crypt cups curl cxx dba dbus device-mapper dri dts dvd dvdnav dvdr eds emerald encode esd exif extras faac faad2 fb ffmpeg flac fontconfig foomaticdb fortran gd gd-external gdbm gdu gimpprint glitz gmp gnome gnomecd gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal ibm iconv imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg jpeg2k lcms ldap mad mbox mng modules mp3 mpeg mpg mudflap mysql nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png policykit ppc64 ppds pppd python qt qt3support readline samba saslradeon sdl secure-delete session skins slang spell sqlite ssl svg sysfs tcpd theora threads tiff truetype udev unicode v4l v4l2 vcd vidix vorbis webkit wma xanim xcb xcomposite xine xml xml2 xmms xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="aoa" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_US zh_CN" PHP_TARGETS="php5-2" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="i386 x86_64" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="i386 x86_64" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="ati radeon fbdev" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
See bug 344571. I guess VLC needs dependencies fixed to require new ALSA, then.
fixed in ~arch/live, cant fix in stable yet due to bug #344571; I expect 1.1.6 to be out soon and will require a quick stabilisation...
