the pkgconfig description file of librsvg states cairo as a build requirement. and with cairo being propagated, vlc now picks up librsvg as available.
this new release together with an updated ffmpeg solves segfaults errors, i was having for some videos.
Pushed, thanks a lot! |

since the vlc 2.0.8 update i was unable to watch quite a lot of different videos as vlc segfaulted as soon as one launched the video. the update to 2.0.8a together with ffmpeg's version bump brings those videos back.
at the same time, i noticed that vlc kept missing the librsvg library. moving cairo in the librsvg expression into the propagatedBuildInputs fixes this as well. i suppose adding cairo to vlc's buildinputs would achieve the same. i'm unsure whether this is the correct fix.
