I haven't been following this thread, but FWIW make sure you disable the
Composite extension on your X server, or the plugin will not work
correctly. I'm not sure why, but without disabling Composite I've only
gotten gray windows where the player should be.

In xorg.conf:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Off"
EndSection
