Where did you get vlc from? It's not part of CentOS so you must have used a third party repo to install it. Which one? If it was nux-dextop then it hasn't been maintained for about 2 years now and the copy of vlc there is ancient and did not contain opus support last time I looked. There's a newer copy of vlc in rpmfusion-free-updates but that repo is incompatible with nux so you will need to work out what else you have installed from nux and see if they also provide it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

i got it from yum. As you said install from rpmfusion, i installed but it still shows this error while installing rpms : "/sbin/ldconfig: /lib64/libmatroska.so.6 is not a symbolic link". and audio for mkv is not playing. Finally i removed old vlc 2.2.15 .... and run new vlc installed by rpmfusion and it played. Thanks alot for suggestion for rpmfusion repo.
