It can be fixed in the vlc package's RPM %post section by running:

	# Add new labeling rules for libraries requiring text relocation:
	/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t  /usr/lib/vlc/codec/libdmo_plugin.so
	/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/vlc/codec/librealaudio_plugin.so
	# Set correct SELinux security contexts:
	restorecon /usr/lib/vlc/codec/libdmo_plugin.so /usr/lib/vlc/codec/librealaudio_plugin.so

The semanage-commands will add these rules to 
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local.
