Bug#608727: vlc: Audio pops periodically when playing DVDs

Package: vlc
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: normal

Sometimes when playing DVDs in VLC, the audio will pop periodically at a
regular interval. This doesn't happen with every DVD, nor does it always happen
every time with the same DVD. I could sometimes fix it by relaunching VLC or
ejecting and re-inserting the DVD, sometimes it doesn't make a difference. A
few notable features of my configuration are I am using spdif passthrough with
ALSA for the audio and I am forcing vsync with the radeon drivers.
