Change of the mplayer package is useless. other programs, like mythtv are 
affected, too. The link belongs into the driver package itself.

Meanwhile a libvdpau package appeared in openSUSE:Factory and I have already 
submitted a patch to make it properly update from our package. Looks like I 
now have contact to the right people at SUSE to fix the issue in the driver 
package, too.
