Actually - that's the way I understood you, and answered accordingly. Linux sound support can be confusing and weird - there's no real audio standard for Linux like there is for Windows. My point was simply that if they - the VLC folks - don't have a regular PC Linux patch, then we - PS3 Linux folks - certainly won't have one.

I'm away from my Linux box right now - I'm on vacation - so I don't have access to my VLC installation. Since I don't use it very often, I can't recall that dialog box from memory. Anyone else able to help with this question?
Also - I will mention one thing. You should check your home directory and see if, perhaps, you no longer have read/write permission to the VLC settings file. Usually, settings files in Linux are hidden by including a "." in front of the file name - tricky huh?
From a terminal window, you will have to use the
ls -al command to see these hidden files. I would look for something like .vlc or .vlc-settings. The
ls -al command will also show you the owner of the file. If, somehow, the root account "owns" the VLC settings file, this would explain why you're not able to write changes to it. You can just "re-own" the file with the
chown command.

Any tips on how to make it fullscreen without it mixing with normal size version to mess up the picture? I have never been able to watch a movie all the way through since the picture messed up in fullscreen. I do not know if the sound will cut out like on VLC or totem movie player does.
I would try one of the custom mplayer-ps3 builds. I think there's one on ps3bodega. What you do is launch this mplayer from a full text mode screen - i.e. init 3 - not the GUI mode - i.e. init 5. You also launch this mplayer with the PS3 scaler support turned on, via a command line argument:
-vo ps3 This should go fullscreen with no issues.
The PS3 scaler does have some issues with X Windows, so you can't launch it with this argument directly from Gnome.
