@LocutusOfBorg It's not a simple bug fix to be backported. It is a massive rewrite of the affected plug-in.
And then, that new version has its own problem: I perceive a lot of stutter at super-nominal playback speeds. Also sometimes audio and video are not synchronized. So I think it is not ready for releasing; that is why it is only in a development version.
In the mean time, I would advise either disabling the PulseAudio plugin from Ubuntu VLC 1.1.x builds, or lowering its priority below that of the ALSA plugin (like it was in VLC 1.0.x).
