Applications not linked against libvdpau. I'm not sure whether there are
any packages in Debian left doing dlopen(libvdpau) - and they are not
easy to spot as they probably won't depend on libvdpau. Also the
segfault will usually happen during application shutdown, so it may go
unnoticed by the user (for gui apps started from the menu with no shell
that shows the error).
xbmc-bin is a possible candidate as it only Recommends: libvdpau1
The bug report (#592204) mentioned xbmc and mplayer, although mplayer
(as shipped by Debian) is nowadays linked against libvdpau1.
There may be third-party applications doing this as well.
