Hello all!
I'm afraid that I have no idea where the problem lies. It is probably
relevant that I am a complete ignoramus where multimedia is concerned. I
need to run vlc simultaneously with wireshark in order to analyse the
traces for an assignment in an online course I am doing. I can run
Wireshark on Trinity on Squeeze, but not on Lenny. (I believe there is a
bug.) I can run vlc in Lenny, but not in Trinity/Squeeze. And yes, they
are different versions.
See below for extract from Squeeze syslog.
All suggestions welcomed!! Even RTFM, so long as the admonition includes
which %^&*!!$ Manual to read!
If there is no way it could be Trinity, I'll take my request elsewhere, but
I didn't like to cross-post. And I find life more comfortable if I don't
force insecure KDE4 users to make snide remarks about KDE3 lovers!
Thanks, all.

Not sure about the error message, seems like hardware but just in case.
I use VLC on Squeeze,
I use: deb
http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
I also use libdvdcss2 from debian-multimedia.
I still have some isues with some KDE apps not finding /dev/dvd, which is linked
to /dev/sr0, but VLC finds everything ok.
