There didn't even seem to be a way to make it play back with the hardware acceleration disabled as vlc just kept segfaulting. A custom mplayer build spawned lots of errors too. It was literally impossible to play back any H264 videos.
For what it's worth, to get it working for myself I had to recompile libva, libvdpau and vdpau-video manually. I used unpatched versions of:
libva-1.0.12
libvdpau-0.4.1
vdpau-video-0.7.2
