VLC player and .s3m, .it file formats

Hi,
I have installed vlc player and can confirm that it works for .mp3 format files.
I have tried to play some of the Unreal soundtrack which are in .s3m (scream tracker 3) and .it (impulse tracker) format. These files play on vlc under windows, but appear not to play under linux - the messages windows shows errors. Does the windows version come with extra codecs / with support for extra file formats - is the version in the arch repos different in any way (different modules compiled in)

Errors:

Thanks in advance for any help. Maybe I should try the vlc from the AUR?
