hi
I think I may have a solution, or rather, what's causing the problem.
If you're using the default ubuntu orca packages, you're still on orca
3.12. There was a nasty bug with qt applications that was fixed in
mater between 3.12 and 3.14. If you want vlc media player to talk, try
upgrading to 3.14. I don't have specific instructions, since I'm on
arch, but I do know there's an accessibility PPA you can grab that has
the latest orca and at-spi.
Thanks
Kendell clark
