I haven't tried trunk. I'm using the .21-fixes repo. I have a system based
on the same mobo with an X2 3800+ CPU. It's working quite well with VDPAU. I
play MPEG2 from an HDHR and H264 from blueray rips and recompressed DVDs and
such. I haven't noticed audio problems.

One thing that helped for me, was to start with VDPAU by using mplayer. The
SVN version of it has VDPAU support and there is a huge thread on the NVidia
forum about it. That has worked well for me in the past. For Myth, make sure
you set up a playback profile and tell it to use VDPAU. It doesn't use it by
default. Posting a part of your mythfrontend.log and Xorg log will help
people diagnose your issue.
