libtheora 1.0beta1 contains following upstream changes comparing to 1.0alpha7, which is in Ubuntu Gutsy currently:
libtheora 1.0beta1 (2007 September 22)
- Granulepos scheme modified to match other codecs. This bumps

libtheora 1.0alpha8 (2007 September 18)
- Switch to new spec compliant decoder from theora-exp branch.

According a this thread http:// lists.xiph. org/pipermail/ theora/ 2007-September/ 001599. html there is a problem on PPC in decoding. The problem is fixed in SVN trunk between revisions r13909 through r13911. So we may want to patch the package in Ubuntu. But since it affects only PPC it is not high priority.
I will attach debdiff and diffstat output shortly.
