A couple of days ago zypper installed a number of updates to the KDE 4.8 files I am using - including some to vlc.

Following this, vlc worked again - *BUT*, unlike to what has been the case for the past years, when I switch to another workspace/desktop vlc audio goes MUTE while vlc continues running, in the background, on the workspace where I always run it (Desktop #6). (This going mute is similar to what happens in, say, the game Pysol - Tri Peaks which goes into PAUSE mode when you switch to another desktop.) I have not noticed this but recently have used clementine for streaming rather than vlc and may have missed noticing.....
Ahh, further to what I wrote. I just had a look at clementine in the Software Manager and I don't want something to play audio file or stream music off the internet. vlc or xine can do that with ease. I use vlc, or xine, to watch television and/or record a TV program (using vlc, xine cannot do this) as my primary use of vlc.
