This error is caused because there is a missing library.

As stated on the bug report linked in the question, there is a problem with the 64 bits package. To resolve it, you must open a console and type:

cd /usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/
ln -s vlc_1_1_x.py vlc_1_0_x.py

The package installs a higher version of the library than the one sopcast calls. With the above command you will make a link, so that sopcast call the 1.1 version when it asks for the 1.0. This is a quite ugly workaround, but it should work (I can test it).
