A couple of days ago zypper installed a number of updates to the KDE 4.8 files I am using - including some to vlc. Of course following this, vlc would not work and I therefore had to do what everybody has been doing for a long time and that is install vlc from videolan.org as a "one-click install". 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 also have xine installed but xine still behaves as it has over the years: the sound continues when I switch desktops. Has anyone else struck this annoyance and/or knows how to overcome this new behaviour by vlc, please? (BTW, there were some updates yet again to vlc earlier today [my time] but these have not changed anything. And Yes, I have checked the settings for anything obvious to cause this new behaviour - but probably missed the obvious one.)
