Actually, latest x86 stable version is 0.6.2.

Yup, as I have already posted in the other mail, I'm looking at this, so this 
night I took a look to vlc's bugs and closed the already fixed ones (there 
was a pair), fixed the ones of 0.6 which needed trivial fixes, and now 
there's just one vlc bug (ppc related, which i can't test... lu_zero? :)). I 
pruned the unneeded versions as I don't think having bug reports for 0.8.0 or 
0.7.x will be useful for now.

I also looked at a52dec bug, whcih seems already fixed for me, but I'll wait 
user feedback about it, still nothing blocker imho.

ffmpeg bugs are mostly enhancements (at least bug #88965, #89172, #87811).
Bug #84264 sounds like an upstream bug, and it's the blocking one. Also bug 
#82127 (assigned to games) can be a problem.

I think from here we can move toward having ffmpeg stable in the next weeks 
(at least I hope :) ), for vlc purposes the target keywords are x86 and amd64 
(I can test it for the latter), so the ppc bug can be ignored for now, but 
ffmpeg has many other arches to consider so it's something which needs 
careful attentions.
