This is weird, my system is AMD64, with an nVidia card (nvidia-glx),
using the ubutnu packages (plus the Mythbuntu layer, which should not
make any bit of difference in the end).

I am not experiencing anything close to your issues, at all.

I'm playing all kinds of media (mpeg1/2, divx, xvid, vorbis, theora,
including VC-1 1080p stuff (mplayer rc2, the only manual compile on the
box, with the v4l-dvb drivers), using avi, ogg, mkv, ts and mp4
containers and DVDs.

My repositories are all the usual Ubuntu stuff (main, restricted,
multiverse, universe, security backports), plus Medibuntu (free, non
free). That's all.

The system started its life as a daily CD Gutsy install somewhere in
june and was kept up-to-date throughout the dev cycle.

Your stuff is out of the ordinary, which may explain why there is no
how-to, there is normally no need for any.

I'm sorry that I cannot really offer any additional help, just the
assurance that there is a way to make it work, normally without any
weird thing needed to be done.
