Sound out of sync with video when connected to bluetooth speakers

your exact device name Asus Nexus 7 & Nexus 5

your Android version 4.3 & 4.4

your VLC version Nightly build, v0.2.0-git b7cc339 (but same problem with the current version on play store)

a log file (see below) Attached one when connected to Bluetooth speakers, and one when using the internal speakers.

whether the issue occurs only on one media (video or music) or all of them All including the MrMrSmith sample at http://people.videolan.org/~jb/android_test/, but I'm mostly interested in the streaming FLV that I get from Extend Server Plus https://code.google.com/p/extendserverplus/ because VLC seems to be the only program that can play the stream.

location to a sample, a screenshot, etc... MrMrsSmith sample exhibits the problem. The person's mouth moves, then about a half-second later, the sound comes from the speakers. When the internal speakers are used, the video and sound are in sync.

Here are the BT speakers that I tested against. All exhibit the same problem and seem to have the same delay. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX44875 Sony Bluetooth speaker http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX37633 Creative D80 http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX36478 Logitech H800

I typically use Mx Player to play video on Android and it does not have sync problems with the bluetooth speakers. However, VLC is the only app that can handle the FLV stream from Extend Server Plus so I need to use VLC in this case and the delay in sound is very noticeable.

Also just tried with the native video player that Android has and it did not have sync problems.
