I have used your howto with ubuntu desktop 13.10 (not the mini.iso and not the scripts) and got vdpau and xmbc to play everything perfectly, incl. DTS-HD, 1080p ect.
Since the updates from last sunday 9-2-2014 the passthu option in xbmc was gone, only the pulseaudio devices are available in xbmc 13.0.
Eventually I got passthu available again by removing the repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-fernetmenta-master and installing xbmc 12.3 frodo.
On saturday 8-2-2014 everything was still ok using XBMC 13.0 from wsnipex/xbmc-fernetmenta-master.
Half an hour ago I tried the xbmc-fernetmenta-master again: resulting in no passthru available (in expert configsettings)
So I removed the xbmc-fernetmenta-master and reinstalled 12.3 to get things working again.
Here are the logs from my working setup:

No real problem for me here, I'm just saying... the xbmc provided in the howto is not giving me the expected results, while xbmc 12.3 Frodo is working perfectly with vdpau.
