I'm assuming that either I have vlc configured incorrectly or the  
change doesn't or can't cover the

  No suitable decoder module for format:

    VLC probably does not support the "samr" audio or video format.

This is using youtube's new 3gp site:

   vlc rtsp://rtsp.youtube.com/youtube/videos/BF0wGd2kn0k/video.3gp?w=yes

and after the ffmpeg upgrade.
