The problem is that the vlc version compiled with 1.7.1 is ready, but the
maintainers haven't pushed it to factory yet.

No, the incompatibility introduced with version 1.7.0 is with version 1.6.3,
and version 1.7.1 restores this compatibility.

And the update to version 1.7.1 is also needed because it is now a hard
requirement of mkvtoolnix 71+.

v 1.7.0 was set because the spec specifies "# Tag with the version of the most
recent !!incompatible!! change." -> This is version 1.7.0

You could spend some time to tag & patch the source code differently, but imho
it's easier to move forward and install the vlc version built with 1.7.1.

So I suggest 2 things:

1. Install the correctly built vlc from  the multimedia:/libs repo (this is the
version that will be pushed to factory) 
( add this repo :
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/libs/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/)

2. And ask the vlc maintainers to push the new vlc version to live asap.
