There isn't yet, but will surely be in the future.

Could you do a few tests for me please ?

1 - run vlc, go into the preferences menu, in the audio section select the 
"aout_directx" audio output module. Then try to play a movie.

2 - run vlc, go into the preferences menu, in the audio section select the 
"waveout" audio output module. Then try to play a movie.

3 - download the test version here: 
http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/vlc-0.5.2-pre1-win32.zip, install it 
and re-run the first 2 tests.

Does any of these tests improve the sound quality at all ?

Regards,
