I don't use the Linux version, but it should probably be considered

This isn't a problem, and using VLCS to send an HTTP URL works for 
us. Could you forward the complete VLC log ? I think there must be 
another problem elsewhere.

15-bit output used to work for me with my old computer. It may have 
been broken recently, though, could you put a screenshot on some web
