I'm trying this but I see:

[00000320] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `samr'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

when viewing a m.youtube.com video.  IIRC, vlc-devel didn't have that  
problem but doesn't seem to compile on Stable but there again I could  
be missing a compile option.

Thanks for all the work and for opening communication with the vlc  
developers.  Vlc is one great swiss army knife like tool for video.
