AFAICT audio with vls is broken. It doesnt work for me on linux, too.

this may be another problem. Just test, if you can play a local mpeg file
and if you have sound, then you know sound in vlc is working or not.
The vls issue is another thing to solve, i solved it by going back to
my old CVS version of about 2003-05-15, which i had backed up... :-)

on which platform is your vls running? On linux, i use /dev/dsp as 
audiodevice, works with the old cvs version but not with the current.
