Hi all,

Some friends of mine ran into the same problem. They're using the gnome
desktop environment and pulseaudio.

I've just did some test on my machine. I think it's an configuration
issue, based on a specific software combination:
- without pulseaudio, using alsa: pause/unpause in working as expected
- with pulseaudio and vlc without plugins: pause/unpause causes mute
  problems
- with pulseaudio and vlc-plugin-pulse [1] installed: pause/unpause is
  working as expected

vlc -vv (without vlc-plugin-pulse):
[...]
[0x1bb38e8] main audio output warning: buffer way too late (185630),
dropping buffer
[0x1b97a88] mpgatofixed32 audio filter debug: libmad error: bad
main_data_begin pointer
[0x1bb38e8] main audio output warning: not synchronized (104463 us),
resampling
[0x1bb38e8] main audio output warning: buffer way too late (263947),
dropping buffer
[...]

vlc -vv (with vlc-plugin-pulse):
[...]
[0x26e1ea8] pulse audio output debug: missing latency from input
[0x26e1ea8] pulse audio output warning: too late by 101093 us
[0x26e1ea8] pulse audio output debug: changed sample rate to 44186 Hz
[...]

Maybe this helps someone,
Georg
