(Get the code!)
Good. Then I'll give my two cents about this:
Right now VLC is plain unusable when installed in Hardy, because it uses ALSA output by default which is seriously broken in a PulseAudio environment. It even leads to almost-complete X11 lockups.
However, installing vlc-plugin-pulse fixes all that. And if there's no PulseAudio available, it will fall back to ALSA. I don't see why there should be any regressions in making VLC depend on that package, because the way it is now, VLC doesn't work at all.
