Nice to see it working, but wouldnt it be a better idea to install this plugin by default?

At the moment a novice user who heard about the "Just Works" capabilities of Ubuntu would have difficulties getting VLC to work like it used to on Windows, because Pulseaudio is installed by default in Ubuntu and apparently breaks the ALSA module enabled by default in VLC leading to almost complete system lockups once you close VLC and try to do anything with the Gnome panel.

So please make VLC DEPEND on vlc-plugin-pulse.
