[Bug 446040] [NEW] vdpau video output breaks fullscreen playback at least on some GPUs

[Krzysztof Klimonda]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mplayer

With default settings, on default Karmic installation, with compiz enabled mplayer can freeze whole system, crash itself or compiz when user toggles movie to full screen.
Some output from mplayer:
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_output_surface_create: The system does not have enough resources to complete the requested operation at this time.
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_presentation_queue_block_until_surface_idle: An invalid handle value was provided.
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_video_mixer_render: An invalid handle value was provided.
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_presentation_queue_display: An invalid handle value was provided.
it just loops itself. No difference between HD and normal content.
When you add
vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,
to ~/.mplayer/config playback works but not at full speed, also new errors are displayed in terminal:
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_presentation_queue_block_until_surface_idle: A catch-all error, used when no other error code applies.
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_presentation_queue_block_until_surface_idle: An invalid handle value was provided.

Everything works fine once compiz is disabled.
