VLC TrueHD Audio skipping/stutter

I have: MakeMKV-libaacs installed and it works absolutely great.  I can watch my Blu-Ray discs with VLC player with pretty well no issues.  I am having one trouble however, when I play a title that has an audio track encoded with TrueHD then mostly the audio doesn't play (silence) with brief moments where it plays fine.  I have tried to Google a solution to no avail.  On the same disc that has a TrueHD audio track other tracks that use a different encoding like AAC (a52) play fine if I switch to them - the problem with that is that they aren't the main track, they are like described video or commentary.

Any suggestions that could help and potentially a solution for future Googlers?

Edit: Running in a terminal gives repeating errors like this:

[truehd @ 0x7fd6281a9620] Indicated end offset of substream 1 data is smaller than calculated start offset.

Re: VLC TrueHD Audio skipping/stutter

I had same problem and installing gstreamer plugins solved it. I installed bunch of those packages, "gstreamer0.10-good", bad, ugly and so on, and problem was solved.
