For the record #741170 has been fixed. There is now only one really
annoying bug which is Libav-specific, #742896, the lack of proper
VDPAU support. IMO this is an important issue, since VDPAU will be
used by more and more people during Jessie's lifetime.

PS: Thanks to Libav devs for testing/fixing it.
