I'm now on Ubuntu 16.04 xenial. VLC now actually plays music, but the UI freezes when I click play/select a file (so the music *is* playing even while the UI is frozen). MPlayer, Clementine et all do just fine on my machine. I'll enter another bug report for that.

What works: * visual part of video-playing with vlc * sound & video with other players like totem, mplayer, rhythmbox What does not: * audio part of video-playing with vlc * playing soundfiles with vlc In the latter cases, vlc plays the file (everything ok in GUI), while the audio is identifiable, but hardly comprehensible through the noise. I've tested the issue with a number of files in different audio/video formats.
