Debian Multimedia :: VLC Alsa Stuttering On HD Video

VLC says: "main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late" when I am playing back most Bluray discs I have tried.

See this bug post for what I am talking about: [URL].... It has to do with playing back h264 video with ALSA.

Possible fixes:
1. Obtain VLC 2.2.2 - see below
2. Fix by Modax here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10422 - not currently using dmix and not sure how this will relate to HDMI sound
3. Use Pulseaudio - this does not work for me to get HDMI sound and I do not use Pulseaudio as a rule

I have just tried to compile VLC 2.2.2 and the configure script finished properly but early in the build it fails.

With make the error is:

Code: Select alljason@MEDIA:~/vlc-2.2.2$ make -j4
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jason/vlc-2.2.2'
Making all in compat
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/jason/vlc-2.2.2/compat'
  GEN      dummy.c
make  all-am

[Code] ....

And with compile the error is:

Code: Select allMAKE     : compat
MAKE     : doc
MAKE     : po
MAKE     : share

I have tried installing 3 different versions of libua-dev, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. What could be the problem?

With the bugged audio drivers I'm going to replace the computer but it would still be nice to be able to know the solution to compiling VLC 2.2.2.
