[vlc] Video stalls, audio keeps working - example test file available

Hi Aaron,

I am not an expert and I may not have the solution to your problem,
but...

...the decoder drops frames because it receives them too late...

...and according to this data (434Mb/600s ~ 5,8 Mbit/s, compressed!),
your network may be too slow to transmit the stream. Don't know why
WinXP works, though. Is it running on the very same PC? Maybe increasing
the VLC buffer results in better performance.
