I just looked: I have vlcrc, vlcrc.txt and vlcrc1.txt, the two latest both from
June and partly related to my recent installation of a new nVidia card.
Each file is > 85 Kb of almost entirely commented out options. I looked at a diff,
and then tried "cat vlvrc | grep -v \#", but that still gives a fairly dilute
output dominated by empty lines. I'm no grep expert.
But I do see 'audio-visual=glspectrum' - and it's on-screen too.
FWIW, I got rid of all the blank lines first with
sed -i '/^$/d' vlcrc
