Interesting, I found out that I had to purge remove all vlc packages
from my system, apt-get --purge autoremove, and reinstall them all in
order to upgrade to the latest and avoid the problem I posted earlier.
I also found out I was missing the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 for playing
mpeg3. All is good now.
Florian, for the volume issues try alsamixer from a shell and press "F6"
to select a sound card and check the levels. Kmix doesn't show all
these.
