Bug#548989: vlc: VLC fails to play many video formats and audio codecs that previously functioned.

Package: vlc
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: normal

I get error similar to the following:

main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `wma2'.

I'm running a system mostly unstable with a few select packages from experimental. I have to actually downgrade to Stable/Lenny's version of VLC to get it to play nearly everything I throw at it. It just started happening very recently, but I'm not sure what upgrade caused it as I did a lot of updates.
