No Audio in VLC when playing a DVD

I am using VLC player 0.9.9a. I can get audio from any local file format and I can get video from local files and a dvd. But I cannot get a dvd to play audio of any kind. I am having this problem on both my Slitaz machines (Dell latitude CPX-H laptop, and Hp/Compaq NC8230 laptop) I am running Slitaz 3.0 stable.

Any ideas?

Re: No Audio in VLC when playing a DVD

vlc-0.9.9a in stable repo has no ac3 audio decoding because compile option --disable-a52

Libvlc compiled to decode ac3 :

http://www.mediafire.com/file/u6man8yrlt7pmed/libvlc-0.9.9a.tazpkg

Existing vlc-0.9.9a install:

#tazpkg install libvlc-0.9.9a.tazpkg --forced

New install of vlc-0.9.9a:

#tazpkg install libvlc-0.9.9a.tazpkg

#tazpkg get-install vlc
