Of course it is and I'm not claiming anything else :) I have solved
my problem with this radio (official distribution point, wtf...) by
remuxing it with libav before transcoding it with VLC a long time ago,
but since mplayer, xine and libav were fine, I thought that VLC devs
would be interested in this strange case. Anyway I'll look into VLC
code and try to find more direct workaround than remuxing the stream
first.
