The VideoLAN team is happy to announce version 0.4.6 "hooray for
boobies" of the VideoLAN Client, alias VLC, a multimedia player for
MPEG, DVD, VCD and DivX for most operating systems and version 1.2.4 of
libdvdcss, a portable DVD access library.
VLC 0.4.6 is a maintenance release. The most important
fixes include:
- selection of a52dec as the default decoder for AC3 sound
for a better quality,
- possibility for Windows NT/2000/XP users to read DVDs without
administrator privileges,
- fix for a hangup in the esd plugin,
- fixes for a few segfaults.
