Public bug reported:
Most modern video formats that I find on the interwebs, when I try to
play them with VLC, the sound is such a loud white noise, that I thought
maybe it is an assassination attempt on my life.
Totem refuses to play, claiming an error loading supporting library.
Attached is a recording of what it sounds like.
This started happening some one month ago or so.
Until then, I've been enjoying all kinds of videos and their audio
without issues.
Likely not a VLC issue, although it would be nice if players could
protect me from such atrocities.
