This usually happens when you get a lot of dropped frames or errors in  
movies. The exact reason is of yet unknown, but for convenience the  
message has  been turned into a warning as well, so it shouldn't bother  
you that much anymore if you get the latest cvs version.

The preferences are not completely tested at the moment. The advice is  
not to use them if you don't have to I guess.
But actually i don't think the errors have anything to do with your  
preferences. There is one way to test though.
You could remove the ~/.vlc/vlcrc file.

Did you do the ./bootstrap first?

This is not really an issue. vlc should just work fine.

I don't need to do make install.
You can simply run vlc from the compile directory.

Don't know. I don't do full compiles.
Note btw, that if you want sound with the latest cvs versions for  
instance, that you need libmad.
