Well, it is hardly an enjoyable experience, the audio pops every few 
seconds and there are audio/video sync messages in the log, so I've gone 
back to non XvMC playback, which uses about %50 CPU. Not sure what is 
wrong with my setup, but I've never been able to get XvMC to work 
correctly with .18 or .19.
