The solution was always elegant , But at that time i wasnt as comfortable with Linux/Ubuntu as i am now

Thanks for the reply though blazemore. I think someone should find it useful

Yeah that's why I put it here, if people are searching, they should find it. Another way would be to use Symbolic links.

Is 'killall pulseaudio -- vlc' run while VLC is running or not? I'm having choppy audio problems too with VLC.

Code:

sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-pulse

and selecting 'Pulseaudio audio output' from the audio section of preferences (Tools -> Preferences) seemed to help me.
