There were two problems, neither major. One was that the Mac code
was assuming it could compile for Altivec, even though it didn't
require it at runtime. In the case where it was not even available
at compile time, it provided a NULL yuv2vuy decoder function. This
was what caused the crash way down in Quicktime when trying to render
video. Providing it the plain old C function works fine.
After that, Audio was messed up, just static. I took a wild guess
that it was an endian issue, looked for "endian" in the Mac audio
code, and just removed the flag telling Core Audio that the data was
big endian. It worked!
That solved all the major issues, it works great on my new mini now.
