Well, it works very well for me. I recompiled with 19602 and
everything seems to work well with 180.22. The CPU usage is strange
though, here is top with VDPAU in use:

Cpu0  : 22.3%us,  1.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 74.1%id,  0.0%wa,  0.7%hi,  2.0%si,  0.0%st
Cpu1  :  1.9%us,  1.3%sy,  0.0%ni, 96.8%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:   2074688k total,  1074756k used,   999932k free,    57924k buffers
Swap:  2047744k total,       52k used,  2047692k free,   648656k cached

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
10537 mythtv    20   0  372m 180m  58m S   75  8.9   1:24.61 mythfrontend
 6104 root      20   0  436m  35m  10m S    4  1.8   1:15.28 X

What I don't get is why it says mythfrontend and X combined are using
79%, but the total usage across the cores is only about 25%. It is a
Core2Duo E2180 running FC8.
