Hello

I love vlc, it's the best player! But there are some issues, which in the long run get VERY annoying!
First let me clarify I am only posting issues that I'm not expierencing on my systems with either wmp or wmp classic, just vlc.
Second, I realize it is possible that some of these issues may be fixed in the settings, but in that case I think it's just much too
complicated for the average user to find + get it right! Well here are my concerns:

. sometimes when i choose S/PDIF, playback jumps right back to stereo or 5.1 by itself (mostly after cutscenes) Also I can't seem to set set S/PDIF as default
. in two screen mode, if vlc is on screen #2, or also other situations, sometimes you cannot at all control vlc by right clicking it in the taskbar (= no right-click menu, very cumbersome handling)
. sound is preamplified way too much, there is no (easy?) way of setting this as standard
. in line with the above, every time a new file is opened, equalizer settings are reset!

PLUS:
. too many crashes with .mkv files
. many crashes when playing movie clips using the playlist

I'm sure many of these have been mentioned / adressed before, but just wanted to help!

Thanks VLC Team

Unfortunately. that does not really help. We already have too many bug reports and feature requests to handle. Only code helps.

I didn't realize...
Let's simply defer these USER INTERFACE IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS until a later date then

Thank you and keep up the good work!
