There are two relevant changes in LibVLC 1.1.6 (from 1.1.5):
1) Xlib is automatically disabled, as if --no-xlib were used when appropriate. This will cause a big warning on the standard error to shame the developers that ignore the --no-xlib flag.
2) If PulseAudio is .22 or later at BUILD TIME of VLC, the PulseAudio plugin won't use Xlib anymore.
As far as AmaroK does not do any video thing with Phonon/VLC, AmaroK should be "fixed" with the new PulseAudio and LibVLC. However, this bug will still affect video-capable Phonon-based applications. The following other LibVLC components are known to use Xlib:
- video outputs: GLX, EGL, SDL, ASCII Art
- decoders: libavcodec through VA-API
(- VLC graphical user interfaces)
Therefore, I think Phonon-VLC is still buggy considering that my --no-xlib fix was reverted,
