mesa packages from oibaf ppa.

Video has started jumping about, frames jumping back and forth and lots of skipped frames.
didn't notice this before the last 2 updates from ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba

Video works smooooth, in my case, cpu usage has decreased with 50%.

However, am I the only one not able to get audio over HDMI to function at all (despite having radeon.audio=1 set in /etc/defaults/grub)?
Alsa recognizes ATI HDA (only spdif is showing here - I think that's wrong) + HD Generic HDMI, also unmuted every output in alsamixer.
And there's no audio related error in dmesg, so I'm confused.

So for general usage, all can be done via ppa:

Code:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install libg3dvl-mesa libvdpau1

Make sure to run at least 3.11.1 kernel with the addition of radeon.audio=1 and radeon.dpm=1 to the kernel command line.

If you want the 7.1 LPCM audio, make sure to install the kernel I linked above or build yourself with the two patches mentioned.

Edit: It is currently rebuilt - so wait some minutes: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/+build/5042388

After you changed the /etc/defaults/grub file, did you issue a "sudo update-grub" command?

I thought I did that, and I did. No result. Updating to kernel 3.12 rc3 did move the log file to say something like "[drm] audio x enabled" (x6), but no sound at all.
But thanks for pointing out not to forget the update-grub command!
