multiple instances with different settings ocassionally share settings
using current vlc 2.1.4 on a arch linux laptop i experience what i feel is a malfunction: i often have different instances of vlc running at the same time (different radio stations, video and music playlists e.g.). each instance has is own settings, like volume and muted/not muted. if one instance jumps to the next item in its playlist it happens to adjust volume and mute status to another instance, causing muting to be discarded or volume to be adjusted. imo this should not happen. please point out, if more information is needed.
