23:23:17 T:139872186660608   ERROR:  (VDPAU) Error: A catch-all error,
used when no other error code applies.(25) at VDPAU.cpp:3251
...
libvdpau returned the following error (defined at
/usr/include/vdpau/vdpau.h:1215):
...
    /**
     * A catch-all error, used when no other error code applies.
     */
    VDP_STATUS_ERROR,
...

Since I can't debug this further from this generic error information
please open a bug against libvdpau1 CC-ing me.

Cheers,
Balint
