I guess this is the same problem as with X.org. There is only a shared libXv 
which xine cannot use. I attached a patch to configure, which allows you to 
specify --with-xv-lib=static/shared and which also improves XvMC support by 
allowing an option --with-xvmc-hw-lib to specify a hardware-dependent XvMC 
library other than the nVidia one.

I vote for committing this patch, because some people on xine-user with the 
X.org problem already tested this and it worked. But the patch does not do 
any kind of auto-detection, so it would be great if someone was so kind to 
add this.
