We currently don't have a solution to that, yes, but we've never said we 
were unwilling to fix them. In fact, it is an open issue in our bugtracker:
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/12

Also, I don't remember the VLC developers asking about this.

This is just work that we have to do, as everything else.
