These are the additional keywords I use with vlc: aac ffmpeg httpd stream theora wxwindows If I add "threads" I consistently get a segfault every time I try to lauch the application.

I forgot to mention that the vlc version is the latest stable right now: media-video/vlc-0.8.1-r1
Thanks for reporting, I already had disabled threads support since 0.8.1-r2 as it's unstable with some external libs, but haven't found problems with -r1 before, seems like that depends on some external libraries. I've disabled threads useflag and fixed to no threads support on vlc 0.8.1-r1, too.
