"These are newbie bugs, but VLC is a free software and was likely designed by students or non-audio engineers hobby people, like system administrators."
A very off-putting argument. Give the authors the benefit of doubt they know what they're doing. Firefox has 15 year old issues open. So what. It's build by volunteers in their free time. They owe you nothing. Find a software that better fits your needs if VLC doesn't work for your use case.
