Hm: its source is "vlc", not vlc-dmo, as your system is trying
to download. This is strange (I tried, and my system fetches
vlc's source, as it should be)

Now I'm not so acquainted with apt's innards to understand why, in
your system, apt is trying to fetch the source from deb-multimedia
[1] [2].

Cheers

[1] Yes, the official name is deb-multimedia.org, although people
   still say "Debian Multimedia", but this is confusing, because
   there is a team whithin Debian with the same name
[2] 
https://ftp.deb-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-arm64/package/libvlc-bin.php
   Click past the browser's panic attack. It's just that dmo has
   a certificate which doesn't cover "ftp.".
