I have never configured this menu in the way I was accused of doing, I
did not know that menu existed until yesterday.

I have vlc-plugin-pulse installed and the bug was happening to me
until I got Rene's fix (on a menu I didn't even know existed until
yesterday). I installed vlc media player using the default method on
Ubuntu 10.something and then recently upgraded to 12.04. I think I
reinstalled VLC media player at that point. As I noted the main reason
to upgrade Ubuntu was to try to get rid of this annoying bug in VLC
media player. I burned a compact disc and sat waiting for upgrade for
hours and had to do all kinds of work, just trying to fix a bug which
was in a menu I had never seen before in my life until yesterday. I'd
also tried various reinstallations of VLC media player before that,
using the advice on the VLC media player website.

It looks like the configuration file was left over from the
10.something Ubuntu settings.

And, just in case I forgot to mention it, I had not seen that
configuration menu under Tools/Preferences/Audio, and did not know it
existed until yesterday. I hope that is clear.
