Yes.

[muon][10:43:42 PM] ldd /usr/bin/mythbackend  | grep -i xvmc
        libXvMCW.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXvMCW.so.1 (0xb68a5000)
        libXvMC.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXvMC.so.1 (0xb68a2000)

Both of those exist (the symlinks point to the right files).

So I guess the idea is myth loads libXvMCW, and libXvMCW looks in
/etc/X11/XvMCConfig to decide which implementation to load?
