Know that the 'a' in the release number means 'alpha' - it's not even a beta, so it's likely to have some rough spots.

No caution necessary - natenate

No, no, no. It's not an alpha release. VLC uses letters for expressing version iterations w/r/t bugfix releases. Version 0.9.9a is the same as saying v0.9.9.1. v0.8.6, for instance, went from 0.8.6a --> 0.8.6b --> all the way to 0.8.6i. It's just a naming convention, and yes it isn't all that logical to use letters, because this kind of confusion inevitably results...

That is not logical because version 0.9.9 has already been published. Version a is bugfix.

Show me a link to the "proof" that this is alpha software?

You can not since it does not exist.
