Audio data manipulated internally by VLC is interleaved using the WG-4 
channel order. It's likely that portaudio uses a different channel ordering 
so you might end-up with audio channels assigned to the wrong speakers.
Correct channel ordering isn't difficult to do, have a look at the latest 
version of the waveout plugin to see how it's done.

aout_BufferFree( p_buffer ) can call free() so this might be a problem.
