What surprises me is that VLC (vanilla) dos not behaves the same way:

[log]
D/VLC﹕ core video output: Opening vout display wrapper
D/VLC﹕ core vout display: looking for vout display module matching 
"androidwindow": 4 candidates
D/VLC﹕ android_window vout display: using opaque
[/log]

Here, VLC is looking for "androidwindow" instead of "androidsurface" and 
then the video displays.

The almost sole difference with my implementation is that mine use a 
Fragment instead of an Activity (VLC) to display the video:
In my implementation, LibVLC instance is inited with the application's 
context, but the IVideoPlayer interface is implemented by the Fragment.

I will try if the error still occur in a simple plain Activity.
