The most likely case is that hardware might not support hardware accelerated
decoding for the video the user tries to play. Atm, the user had to pass -vc
*vdpau, so it should not fail be default. But if we make *vdpau the default
(which might be a good idea), MPlayer should at least fail with a more useful
output.

Would it be possible to quit instead of trying to play if config() fails in
vo_vdpau.c?
