vlc 2.0.3 ProjectM path fix (was: Re: More rtld trouble)

The change from sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) to LINE_MAX + 1 works nice here. No core dumps any more and sound via pulseaudio is working again :) I'll Cc the pulseaudio port maintainers (gnome@), maybe they have an idea? Did you forgot to Cc gnome@ (even on the other thread)? Yeah, I manually forwarded the mail when I noticed. I tried out a little bit the build without pulseaudio enabled. It seems to me, that the sound of vlc is somewhat noisy or dirty, especially for parts with more dynamics. This scratchy noise grows up when gain control comes over 100% (up to 200% is possible). Can anyone confirm this? I haven't noticed that here, maybe your soundcard is clipping etc due to too high mixer levels? Hmm, possible, but unlikely. This worked pretty good with version 1.1.13 and as I wrote, gain control was set in the middle (100%). But now, with pulseaudio enabled again, there is not problem with damaged sound quality any more. Btw it's still possible that different mixer items cause different clipping etc, for example vol 100 and pcm low sounds worse than vol 75 and pcm higher, etc. (Maybe pulseaudio does that...?) OK, thanks for the hint. I will have a further look at mixer. There are also some combinations like with kmix etc., that are not exactly represented in mixer settings ... And last but not least: When I deinstall vlc I get the following message: pkg_delete: '/usr/local/lib/vlc/plugins/plugins.dat' fails original MD5 checksum - deleted anyway. That's the file whose generating crashed when building with the old vlc still installed, maybe it's regenerated at runtime otherwise? No, it also fails original MD5 checksum with deinstall/reinstall within 2.0.3. Thanks again for your work on this port. Rainer You're welcome! :) Juergen I just found two other problems, which at least occur on my system (10.0-CURRENT amd64): (1) With option NOTIFY enabled I am able to build, but not to install vlc.
