Problem viewing network streams with vlc.

[Erik P. Olsen]

It's vlc 0.8.6i on Fedora 8 fully updated as of today and the problem is not
viewing, it's in the audio. After approx. one minute of sound it suddenly goes
mute and after maybe half a minute it will produce sound again and so it
continues ad infinitum. The console list from such vlc looks like:

[erik at epohost ~]$ vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6i Janus
[00000331] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x1] audio (85 kb/s)
[00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x2] audio (69 kb/s)
[00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x3] audio (38 kb/s)
[00000331] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x4] video (859 kb/s)
[00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x5] video (419 kb/s)
[00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x6] video (224 kb/s)
[00000331] access_mms access: connection successful
[00000376] pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused
[00000376] pulse audio output error: Pulse initialization failed
[00000376] alsa audio output error: write failed (Broken pipe)
[00000319] main playlist: stopping playback

It is very consistent it happens every time I view a network stream.
Is this something I can correct or should I raise an issue with bugzilla?
