Hi Marius. Keeping in mind that I'm on dialup, can you provide a link to a short movie that I can download, and I'll give it a try on Intrepids vlc. As regards audio output, Alsa, pulseaudio, OSS make no difference, and Intrepids vlc just grinds to a halt after some 9secs of playback. If I then move the progress bar it will play a few more seconds of sound and video, then comes to a halt again. I've never had this before with vlc.
