I can confirm, no freezes when VDPAU is disabled.
Running XBMC standalone, or using Unity-2D don't prevent freezes, it just takes longer.
Also, freezes happen more often, when WindowXML objects are shown.
Maybe XBMC (Eden) has resource issue when initializing VDPAU?

I'm also having this issue and disabling VDPAU is also not an option.
It seems to be pretty random, so I have no idea what's going on...
I have a NVidia 9600M GT by the way.

Updated Ubuntu to 12.04-pre - no more freezes up to now, but will continue testing...

I used
do-release-upgrade -d
on a standard ubuntu 11.10. Not sure about XBMCbuntu though; it could work there too, but no guarantee...
I've also updated 2 Boxes that had 11.04 installed, just had to run do-release-upgrade twice (takes a while). For me 12.04 is really stable up to now, unlike 11.*.

# apt-get dist-upgrade
Might be what you want, I haven't experienced any issues after running dist-upgrade (I haven't tested it very thoroughly), However now i have a issue with vdpau not being used for some movies, seemingly the same, but that's a different topic.

I have it too, same symptoms as everyone else.
I've noticed something though.. If I pause a second after I highlight the video I want to watch, I almost never get the lockup. If I scroll through and hit enter as soon as the video is highlighted, there's a high probability of the lockup.
People seem to be pointing at vdpau... Could it be something to do with vdpau + audio, too? I have everything going out of my nvidia card (honest to god nvidia card, not a revo or anything) via hdmi; it seems like it's within the realm of conceivability, at least, that there might be some interactions going on there.
