Public bug reported:

When playing video files, the audio stops randomly while the video
progresses. The only resolution is to stop VLC and restart the video
from the same location.

This issue has been appearing since I updated libav on this machine. The
files have been checked using different platforms.

Ubuntu Version: 12.10
ALSA-base version: 1.0.25
Pulseaudio version: 1:2.1
VLC version: 2.0.5


What is expected: the audio should continue to play, or an error should be 
released
What happened instead: video continues to play without any error shown

Section of VLC log at time of audio cutoff:
