All that actually does is say that the option is turned on (defaults to
yes for 965+, no for the rest). an extra message from the decoding code
comes up in the case where it actually does something (915+ only, i'm
afraid). It is a rather stupid message, I agree.

mplayer in ports doesn't support xvmc. I really ought to check what
does. Then again, it may not be hard to enable.
