VLC player failed to play some audios

[hce]

Hi,

I built vlc-0.8.6h on linux, it works to play some audios from local files and network, but failed to play following audios. Could following failures be limited by VLC player codec or streaming capacities, or could I miss some options during the compilation?

Looks like you are missing ALSA, or another application is using the sound card via OSS.
