I'm using PPA for VLC maintained by Nate Muench and I've got the 2.0.0-1 and 2.0.0-3 update, but unfortunately I can't get audio output right. I'm using OSSv4 (oss v4.2 build 2006) and the older versions of VideoLAN had OSS UNIX option in the sound output configuration, but in this version there is no such option. I've checked the git repository of VLC 2.0 and in the commit titled Update NEWS for 2.0.0 I've found that:
* OSS support is not compiled on Linux by default, pass --enable-oss to the configure script if you use OSSv4 or really want to use OSS emulation. I've asked Nate about that and he responded that his packaging comes directly from Debian (the only thing he is changing is the debian/changelog entry). I hope that when the VLC 2.0.1 comes out you will pass that flag to build the OSSv4 support (not everyone likes PulseAudio and ALSA). Thank you in advance of the hopefull update and for all the work you are doing. - Mateusz
