This bug is already fixed in VLC 2.1, but the fix is probably too
invasive to be backported.

It can fail in rare circumstances such as context failures (in other
words, PulseAudio daemon crash or exit).

On Windows playing items like dvd:// or screen:// causes strange shortcuts in the user recently used folder.

This plugin can cause VLC to crash or exit prematurely. Sicne it is
mostly useless and mostly superseded by the coloured variant,
lets disable it unless explicitly selected.

This should fix LP#971106.
