The one provided as an OptionalPackage until this change has a compiled
libdvdcss that likely causes problems with this.
Seeing as VLC's main purpose on Haiku would be DVD and streaming playback
now that our media player is as capable as it is, something should be looked
at. For instance, Zeta's VLC (which I maintained at the time) provided
libdvdcss.so as a download and VLC on the DVD that was otherwise fully
functional. Drop in the .so and it could decode encrypted DVDs.
Seeing as any future native DVD playback is going to use libdvdnav and
libdvdcss in some form or other, we'll need an approach for this.
