Did some test here and I thinks I find out the origin of the issue ( comment 
#19 gave me the right hint, about overlay ):
Basically if you:
- disable composite ( sorry till now I cannot find a better solution )
AND
- [VLC] deselect this option: Video -> Display -> Accelerated video output 
(Overlay)
OR
- [VLC] select this video output: Video -> Output -> OpenGL GLX
You will not have any Tearing
