VLC freezing and not playing on-line radio
Neo:
Hi All,
I have TC 3.1 and have an odd issue with VLC.
I like to listen to sky.fm the best of the 80s.
Now in all of the other distro's that I have on my machine (8 or so), with VLC I simply go to Streaming > Network and enter "http://www.sky.fm/mps/the80s.pls" and it works.
Now when I do this in TC, not only does VLC not play music, it freezes and I have to use XKill to close it.
Any suggestions here?
As always I greatly appreciate whatever help you may provide.
I also should add that I tried TC 2.5 but it didn't work for me, however TC 3.1 is much, much better.

Sorry it should be:
"http://www.sky.fm/mp3/the80s.pls"
Now I am experiencing a problem with Alsa.
It seems every time I reboot the settings are lost and I have to reconfigure if I want any sound at all.

Did you follow instructions in .info of alsa?
