Fixing VLC stutter on Android

VLC is a great player on the desktop, but my experience with it on Android has not been the best. Everytime I play start playing a track there's a delay and then a stutter. I can never hear the first couple of seconds properly. Worse this behavior continued for the entirety of an m4b audiobook I just tried to play.

Then I thought, why haven't I tried tweaking with the settings and see what happens. Sure enough, a few minutes later, I found a solution. Go to Preferences, then Advanced. Change Audio output from "OpenSL ES" to "Audio Track (Java)". Done! Everything is fine now.
