Daniel,

VLD now displays. Although the lower half of the image misrenders with mpeg 
artifacts - not corrupt stream artifacts though -  its as if the lower part 
of the screen isn't getting newer mpeg slices to render than the top part has 
got and is trying to catch up.

Same with or without AGGRESSIVE_BUFFER_MANAGEMENT.



Two tiny changes I forgot to mention before:-

Need to include <map> in videobuffers.h

The log "CreateXvShmImages() shmget() failed:" in videoout_xv.cpp:981 
references undefined,  "errno" instead of "XJ_shm_infos[i].shmid"
