See http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace for more information how
to get nicer backtraces.

I notice that you have configured VAAPI in the vlc preferences. Does
the problem still appear if you disable hardware acceleration via
VAAPI?

Can you reproduce the crashes with the avplay utility found in the
libav-tools package?
