i'll mark it as confirmed.
this really shouldnt be wishlist
all the hard work was done actually getting the plugin into the repos. this is simply about actually installing it.

what regressions can there be?
currently vlc doesnt work with pulseaudio, with vlc-plugin-pulse it does.
if pulseaudio is not running, its just falls back gracefully to alsa
there doesnt seem to be any scope for regressions. it fixes in one case, does nothing in the other

having popular applications not using pulseaudio is dangerous as forums seem to have lots of people suggesting killing pulseaudio to get anything done, even when it is not necessary
