I'll try the viaWaitVideoCommandFire change later today. For me, this
occurs within seconds of skipping and only with XvMC enabled. Maybe
it's a SP13000-specific problem?

I'm only guessing (I have not looked in the source and don't know
anything about Xv), but maybe the problem occurs because the playback
is "aborted" with FF and rewind?

I'll try to disable AGPDMA as well and see what happens.
