This is a general problem with PLF reps and the way urpmi handles
biarch. The PLF x86_64 rpms are often not in sync with i586 rpms, thus
urpmi tries to install the newer i586 ones even if they have
dependencies on unavailable packages.

I'm going to rebuild all new versions to x86_64 repositories today, thus
fixing this particular problem. In the meantime, you can try installing
the x86_64 version of vlc-plugin-mad manually.

The only permanent & good solution to this problem is having some sort
of automated or semi-automated system to rebuild PLF packages for x86_64.
