This is probably an XVideo driver bug. There is a define in
videoout_xv.cpp which will do an color swap to get around
buggy drivers. This happens with the ATI proprietary drivers
which advertise I420 support, but implement it as YV12. But
since the openchrome drivers are GPL this should be easy to
fix in the driver.

BTW The reason mplayer is working is because it tries YV12
first, while we try I420 first.
