how to use VLC to view flv file

[yinglcs]

Hi,

How can I use VLC to view flv file?
I have compiled vlc 0.8.6 on my fedora 5, I get the error when I try to view flv file:

vlc: pcm_plug.c:384: snd_pcm_plug_change_channels: Assertion `snd_pcm_format_linear(slv->format)' failed.
Aborted

I have compiled mplayer on the same machine, but I can use it to view the same flv file. Can you please tell me how can I use vlc to view flv file?

Thank you.
