Description:
On my i686 machine (a media center) I've upgraded x264 (20110115-1 -> 20110327-1). vlc does not work anymore with h264 video, saying it can't find any suitable module for h264.
I had to downgrade to 20110115.

Additional info:
* extra/x264 20110327-1
* extra/vlc 1.1.7-6
* extra/libva 1.0.12-1


Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade x264
- Play a h264 video
This task depends upon

vlc uses ffmpeg. my guess is that you don't have ffmpeg from extra. do pacman -Qs ffmpeg and paste the result
