[vlc-devel] Libvlc and imem trouble locating transcode module from raw to vorbis

[William King]

Attached are the logs when I use --imem-codec=raw which fails to locate 
a transcode module, as well as the logs if I use --imem-codec=s16l which 
results in this line:
[0x7fc5d000f838] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for 
fourcc `    '. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
