I installed the latest lt-omap kernel available at the staging PPA and
the ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia, from the TI release PPA (I'm about
to copy the packages to the linaro overlay).

Tested checking with gstreamer, looking at the pipeline, and also at
the amount of cpu consumed by the decode. Was able to play 720p videos
just fine.

The frame drops I got happened when testing with gst-launch, similar
as we had before this newer kernel, but just with a few frames (and
you can also note it at the screen). If you want I can try to make the
video I used available somewhere, so you can also try to reproduce at
your own system.
