Description poletti.marco 2012-10-29 21:11:28 UTC 
x11-libs/libvdpau-0.5 contains the fix for a flash bug that makes all skin-tones in flash videos appear blue, and vice versa.
(I tested it, and the bug is gone)

The ebuild has been there since 05 September.

This release has just 2 commits more than the currently stable 0.4.1, and one of them is the fix for the above-mentioned flash issue. So I think it should be safe to mark it as stable.

Reproducible: Always

Agreed. Let's make it happen.

Just a little QA feedback: While libvdpau 0.5 so far works as expected with nvidia-drivers 313.18, I have had visual corruption issues with it and nvidia-drivers 310.xx and 304.xx from flickering on mythtv to speckled holes in rendering with mplayer and adobe flash. A GTX460 and 9400GS were used to test and both machines are amd64. These glitches may have been fringe and/or codec specific as well, making it difficult to test for reliably.

This library is just a shim library to load the real VDPAU provider based on your X setup. This library or version would not have caused any of the above issues. It would be the real underlying VDPAU implementation from NVIDIA.

While true that it is a shim, switching back to libvdpau 0.4.1 and changing nothing else improved the behavior of vdpau on both machines. Once 313.18 eventually goes stable, whatever quirk behavior I encountered will be buried anyway, so it is at your discretion whether any action should be taken.
