 Having asked about this earlier in the thread, I must say that VDPAU works fantastically well with the latest linux nvidia drivers. I bought a MSI9400GT and 1080p x264 content is slick like never before.

In my experience XBMC playing any sort of audio/video file would make Shairport not work. I'm sure XBMC is just taking control of the audio device and not letting it go. It would be super cool if someone turned it into a native add-on, but I'm not holding my breath.

I looked into this just recently and got it to work. You need to change the value of your SDL_AUDIODRIVER for xmbc
