It's a modified version of Isaac's original patch. OSD, deinterlacing,
PiP all implemented - though it looks like there are issues with VDPAU
(i.e. not mythtv or mplayer) that are causing problems.

Currently, time-stretch is fine (and pretty impressive on hidef
h264!). Isaac is interested in looking into extending the use of the
vdpau presentation queue and adding it to the vertical sync code -
though I can't imagine anyone is going to implement it in such a way
that it breaks time stretch (or anything else).
