[VLC > 2.0.8.a-1] h264 video freezes while playing

I've got a problem with every newer version than vlc-2.0.8.a-1 (current is 2.1.1-2). Almost every MKV file with h264 codec freezes a lot while playing and reports errors like this:

I have the same problem. FLAC files are stuttering as well, but that's already reported. It looks like it's a problem of the last update, since the old one was fine

In my case, installing pulseaudio and switching KDE so it would use it, fixed the problem.
