No, the playback is smooth, it just looks like the entire screen is 
jumping up and down by one pixel each frame.  You can only really notice 
it when there's text with a sharp edge being displayed on the screen 
(such as the OSD).  It's like looking at a monitor with an absurdly low 
refresh rate.

Interesting.  I'll have to check my USE flags and make sure I have 
actually compiled my frontend with XvMC enabled...
