That's going to break so many other applications, is it not? Then, I wonder if 
it makes sense to have an ugly work-around in VLC in the first place.

In any case the proper way to check this, is through dirfd() then fstat(), 
rather than stat(). And I think we already do these calls, so it should be 
piece of cake to add S_ISDIR there.
