Yes, I just downloaded and installed the package from the appropriate VLC 
repo. Zypper now tells me:

Information for package vlc:

Repository: @System
Name: vlc
Version: 1.0.2-2.3
Arch: i686
Vendor: VideoLAN Project (http://www.videolan.org)
Installed: Yes
Status: up-to-date
Installed Size: 1.3 M
Summary: VLC - Video Lan Client

And this version works as expected!

In the past, I know there were incompatibilities between the VLC repo and 
Packman, which caused codec confusion, if memory serves. Has this been 
addressed now, to your knowledge? For openSuSE 10.3 at least, the advice was 
usually to disable the VLC repo after pulling in libdvdcss to avoid issues.

Thanks for the tip!

Joop
