Public bug reported:
This used to work just fine in Oneiric so it has to be some weird
regression that Precise has introduced
When vdpau is enabled as the video output in smplayer (mplayer2), the
video stutters a lot. the same problem is not seen when xv is used as
the output route.
Somehow when I did `compiz --replace`, between compiz restarting the
video is playing smoothly. As I type this compiz has crashed it seems
and the video is smooth. I have verified in the logs that it is using
vdpau at the moment.
So is this a compiz bug then?
