It is unfortunate that the PulseAudio plugin for ALSA emulation in alsa-
plugins does not work very well, but there is not much to do about it in VLC, 
or indeed anywhere. The ALSA and PulseAudio interfaces are just different so 
emulation cannot be fool-proof. If you use PulseAudio, just be sure to have 
the native PulseAudio plugin in vlc-plugin-pulse.

However in the case of this particular bug, I rather suspect this well-known 
PulseAudio 2.x bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50024

Without feedback from the original reporter, go figure.
