It's vlc 0.8.6i on Fedora 8 fully updated as of today and the
problem is not
viewing, it's in the audio. After approx. one minute of sound it suddenly goes
mute and after maybe half a minute it will produce sound again and so it
continues ad infinitum. The console list from such vlc looks like:

It is very consistent it happens every time I view a network stream.
Out of sheer despair in order to do at least something I did:
yum install alsa-plugins*
after which vlc started behaving correctly :-)
