This is a known upstream bug, fixed quite some time ago. The problem is when there's any delay with the source (often observed on a wifi network), audio stops. Here's the upstream ticked about this: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/15046 Upstream commit 887bda11d23665416bd9403151ad1acced68b267 fixes the issue. Please fix this in stable too, I have to recompile vlc locally due to this bug :) Thanks, /mjt
