Hey Paul,
What are we suggesting here? I know Xavier's gotten himself in to a terrible mess by building things and spraying binaries and libs all over his system, but are you really advocating using --nodeps to work around the problem?
Didn't Fonzie teach us - with the camera episode - that another wrong won't fix the first one?
How about a solution that involves packaging up Moz and the two libs, installing that, and then installing the vlc? It's more work, but what kind of situation are we recommending by installing packages via --nodeps?
(and if the extra work looks like penance, so be it!)
Hey, if you're all okay with it, then that's fine, but I had to pipe up for a quick sec.

libasound library comes with alsa-lib-1.0.6.tar.bz2 source archive, I compiled and installed with no specific problem.
Yes, but rpm doesn't know that you installed those things from source. It's complaining because you have no package installed satisfying the vlc package's dependencies.
I read some post on various forums, where experts tell it is not wise to do in any case the use of --nodeps option.
Oh, just do it. The worst case scenario is that vlc won't run, and that's your current situation. :-)
Also, I tried a ldconfig after installation of libasound library, but rpm still complain. I tried to find information in the Maximum RPM guide found at http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/index.html
I don't know what to do. Ignore these messages when I have checked that failing libraries do exist ?
The error you're getting has nothing to do with whether the libraries exist. Rpm doesn't rummage around to see if it can find libasound.so.2 somewhere. It looks in its database to see if you have a package installed that provides libasound.so.2. You don't, so it complains. Since you have the right libraries installed, it is proper to just force the vlc install and be done.
