Hi Axel

I've been using Stevens package for the last couple of months, just 
updating the git-patches every now and again. Running Centos 6.4 on x86_64

I've just done a rebuild on your 292 src using the current 
nvidia-graphics-long-lived (319.17-155.1) and it built with vdpau fine:

# Video Output Support
x11 support               yes
xrandr support            yes
xv support                yes
VDPAU support             yes
VAAPI support             yes
CrystalHD support         yes
OpenGL video              yes
MHEG support              yes
libass subtitle support   yes

(I did have to change the spec dependancy to 
nvidia-graphics-long-lived-devel obviously)

It's not just a case of missing vdpau packages is it?

thanks
