Bug#731596: vlc: VLC skipping on some FLAC files

Tue Dec 10 08:38:58 UTC 2013

Package: vlc
Version: 2.1.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #731596

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

Since the fix is to revert an existing patch, and the current version in 
Debian causes problems with flac files I'd like to see it applied before 
the new upstream release:

With files encoded from CD today using:

flac                                  1.3.0-2

$ flac -t *
