SVN is tested (by me) to work with that - well, cubieboard A10, but that
should not make a huge difference.

Since your output looks like you use a distribution version,
the obvious first thing would be to check -vo help if it
even has VDPAU support at all.
That said, please use self-compiled SVN for such special
use-cases, ancient distro-versions are unlikely to work out.
