You forget the most important thing to note: XFree86 v4.0.1 or above
required for this... older X version doesn't have Xv.

It's a good idea. It should contain 2 sections:
1. general info about the vo drivers, and their requirements
  (fox example, how to test/enable/install XV, GL, what is mga_vid etc)
2. list of the known cards, with the suggested config+vo driver for each
   card.

Btw the SOUNDCARDS file is very outdated ;)
It was true before the select() support, and when -alsa was option (now it's
the default).
Once I've removed it from CVS, but somehow it came back :)

Yes, everyone with success stories should tell how does it work.
