The issue isn't bugs, the issue is that there are no remenants of the BeOS
port and, effectively, VLC needs to be re-ported from scratch.
The 2.0.3 .bep will build a VLC executable that has a hacked together Haiku
audio playback module. It has no video output, no interface, and leaks
memory at a phenomenal rate due to how badly the audio playback is
written...
The 1.0.5 build you have is probably using the QT interface? This is likely
still practicable with 2.x but I haven't had the interest to build it.
I've been incredibly short on time and frequently not even had access to
all my machines recently due to moving house, but I may, possibly, have
time to look at VLC again before Christmas.
