FWIW, I'm currently building vdr-xine 0.5.2 and I've already built updated
xine-lib 1-rc6a. Packages may be available later this evening.

There isn't... hmm, it wants both libXvMC.{a,so} and libXvMCNVIDIA.{a,so},
and fails to print any message if the nVidia library isn't available. I'd
report it, but it appears to have been cleaned up in CVS.

Probably. I'm going to rebuild xine-lib with a patched configure script. A
quick test suggests that it'll work: XvMC is now listed and XvMCNVIDIA isn't
;-)
