I hope so.
vlc will (hopefully), since they are still working on it.
The only xine implementation I found is here:
http://www.jusst.de/vdpau/filedetails.php?repname=xine-vdpau&path=%2Fsrc%2Flibvdpau%2Fvdpau_h264.c
It is a nice example of "include all the problems of Nvidia's original
implementation". I hope that is not the final version.
