I'm under the assumption that OMX/etc don't do anything ridiculous. If
they do, it's a bug just like this vdpau situation, and should be
addressed as such. However addressing them should not preclude vdpau
from being fixed.
I'm getting this >< close to just not building vdpau anymore due to
this breakage.
