XFree86 4.0.1 with Xv extension makes MPEG playing very nice.

With the Dolby and SDDS trailers, many dropped frames at double-size with
mtv.  With smpeg using XFree86 4.0's Xv image extension, I get continuous
video.

Also, with mtv with double-size takes ~40% CPU and X server is basically
saturated (sometimes it takes 3-5 seconds for it to respond to a button
click while playing video).  With smpeg double-size, CPU drops to 20-25%,
and X server is completely responsive.

Thanks to Chris Piazza for the port.

My setup.  XFree86 4.1.0, Matrox G200-SD (PCI), AMD K6-III 400.
xmms-1.2.2, sdl-devel-1.1.4, and smpeg-0.4.0 from ports today.
Note: had to add:

     CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --disable-pthread-sem

to sdl's port Makefile to get it to build on 3.4-RELEASE.
