Thanks :-).

ftp://ftp.videolan.org/incoming would be great.

The block/signaled audio threads have also disappeared from our 
latest CVS (which, for the sound, is _very_ different from 0.4.x).

VLC hasn't been written with that in mind, since initially the clock 
was retrieved from the TS stream received from the network... It's 
possible that we might change this behavior, in a distant future.
