Hi!
I've ported the vdr softhddevice plugin,
http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/tmp/vdr-plugin-softhddevice.shar
and tested it a bit with vdpau. To test it with a running xserver do:
xhost +127.1
and then start vdr with
vdr '-Psofthddevice -d :0.0' ..
(or change vdr_flags in rc.conf(5) so that it starts with
vdr_flags="'-Psofthddevice -d :0.0' ..
and then make sure vdr is started only after the xserver is running.)
To test it so that it starts its own xserver:
vdr '-Psofthddevice -x' ..
(or similarly put this in vdr_flags.)
Note this currently only works with vdpau and (theoretically, I don't
know if the intel kms patches work for this too so I defaulted the
knob to off), vaapi, not with xv or xshm, i.e. software decoding.
For more info see:

Btw the alsa stuff doesn't apply to FreeBSD as we use oss.
Enjoy, :)
