I managed to get xine-lib-1.2 patched with xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r284.diff.bz2
There is an overlay called otih, which contained the ebuild
xine-lib-1.2.9999_p247.ebuild
renaming that ebuild to xine-lib-1.2.9999_p284.ebuild, pulled in the
xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r284.diff.bz2 from
http://www.jusst.de/vdpau/files/xine-lib-1.2/

This seemed to have done the job patching xine-lib it self.

I am still confused to where xineliboutput-cvs-20091013-vdpau-extensi
ons-v11.diff.gz goes. head -n3 returns this:

diff -Naurb -x '.[a-zA-Z#]*' -x debian -x CVS
xineliboutput-head-orig/Make.config xineliboutput-head/Make.config
--- xineliboutput-head-orig/Make.config 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000
+++ xineliboutput-head/Make.config 2009-06-29 13:25:52.000000000 +0000

I don't know of a xineliboutput-head package in gentoo, neither does
there exists a head on xineliboutput on sourceforge. So is this patch
debian specific?

Thanks for any help,
Theunis
