This is a horrible bug, and no one wants to seem to fix it.
Here's my "version":

(Precondition: installed libvdpau-va-gl1, as it was not there.)

Thanks for the VDPAU_DRIVER tip, very appreciated.

~$ export VDPAU_DRIVER=va_gl

~$ cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri

OK, shared object file simply ISN'T THERE.
So why not do this?

~$ sudo ln -s vdpau_drv_video.so nouveau_vieux_drv_video.so

libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_35

**** STALLED ****

vdpauinfo is stuck after it found the init function

Something is seriously broken here.

Title:
  Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared
  object file: No such file or directory

Status in libvdpau package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in libvdpau-va-gl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This has been bothering me at least since precise (although there the
  missing link went to libvdpau_nvidia.so which was all the more
  mysterious since I do not own NVIDIA hardware).  In numerous cases do
  I get a warning that libvdpau_i965.so is being tried to be accessed
  but it fails.  I also can't find that file anywhere on my system or in
  the Ubuntu repository.  I tried poking around with ldd to find out
  where the call to that lib comes from but so far unsuccessful.

  $ vdpauinfo
  display: :0   screen: 0
  Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  Error creating VDPAU device: 1

  libvdpau1:i386 is version 0.7-1 and vdpauinfo is 0.1-1
