What I am telling you is no other source of getting the material will
give you a different file-- since you cite a new version of VDPAU as
your reason for moving away from Miro and mirobridge, I am explaining
that the file you get from any other RSS inserter will give you the
same file.  I further explained that if VDPAU was the issue, you
should play the files with software decode instead.  Perhaps you can
be more clear about what sort of incompatibility you think you see w/
Miro + VDPAU?
