Happy to hear another success story :)

Could the phonon/vlc have something to do with the default soundcard 
that alsa is set to use? try this thing, 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa#Random_Lack_of_Sound_on_Startup it 
works for me, alltho I got the sound devices usbpre2 in the end(got a 
seriously good deal on it) First that trick of setting default device by 
name instead of number didn't work and I tried it oh so many times, 
until one day it mysteriously started to work :)
