Stephen Warren's patch works great for me. Everybody who does no longer
want to wait, can easily compile a custom package. Just copy the patch
from his post and paste it into a file "vdpau.patch". Then patch and
recompile the Ubuntu package:

$ sudo -s
$ mkdir build
$ apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev
$ apt-get source libvdpau1
$ apt-get build-dep libvdpau1
$ cd libvdpau-0.4.1/
$ patch -p1 < /path/to/vdpau.patch
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
$ cp src/vdpau_wrapper.cfg /etc/
$ dpkg -i ../libvdpau1_0.4.1-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Enjoy your videos.

Be careful when copying the patch from his post. The patch should start
with the line "diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am" and end
with the line "+disable_flash_pq_bg_color=1".

When patching the source, the output should look like:
---
patching file src/Makefile.am
Hunk #2 succeeded at 28 (offset 1 line).
patching file src/vdpau_wrapper.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 222 (offset 12 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 389 (offset 12 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 399 (offset 12 lines).
patching file src/vdpau_wrapper.cfg
---

Be aware that your custom package will be overwritten with the next
update of the original package. So if the next update does not yet
contain this patch, you have to do the procedure again.
