VLC has been updated to version 2.0.4 and the modifications touch on plenty of components, from codecs and demuxers to audio output and Qt framework.
In the case of audio output, the playback synchronization with PulseAudio has been improved and there are several repairs referring to live audio device selection and audio output behavior when the output device is plugged or unplugged during playback on Mac OS X.
On Windows, the fix refers to the detection of some 5.1 and 7.1 kits.
In the case of demuxers, the fixes deal with eliminating the problems with Vimeo, Koreus and YouTube Lua parsers and now there is support for YouTube live streams.
The wallpaper mode on Windows 7 and 8 has also been mended and should work with no problems.
2.0.4 is a major update that fixes a lot of regressions of the 2.0.x branch of VLC.
2.0.4 introduces an important number of fixes and improvements for all playback, notably for Blu-Ray, DVD, HLS, Ogg and MKV files; but also for Youtube, Vimeo, Koreus and Soundcloud.
2.0.4 adds Opus codec support, including multichannel ones and streams, and MSS playback through DMO libraries.
2.0.4 fixes numerous issues, including audio device selection, Qt and Mac OS interface, security issues and Windows wallpaper mode...
With faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 was a major upgrade for VLC.
2.0.4 fixes around a hundreds of bugs, and adds more than 300 commits on top of 2.0.3.
