Hmm,.   I grep'd my log for that, and it is also returning150.  So, I
looked in videoout_quartz.cpp, and it looks like 150 is the value it
uses if it doesn't get a valid refresh rate:

    // Find the refresh rate of our screen
    CFDictionaryRef m;
    m = CGDisplayCurrentMode(data->screen);
    data->refreshRate = get_float_CF(m, kCGDisplayRefreshRate);
    if (data->refreshRate == 0.0)    // LCD display?
        data->refreshRate = 150.0;   // Divisible by 25Hz and 30Hz
                                                           // to
minimise AV sync waiting


I'm not sure how that effects playback, but it seems to be the
expected behavior for LCDs, and playback is okay on mine.  So, I would
guess this is not the issue.
