Funny, cause I have similar stuttering effect with my Kabini (E1-2500) laptop under Windows 8.1 using MPC-HC (and VLC IIRC): Flashing for several (might be around 10) seconds without sound while the player seems to get sound and video part to sync, then continues with sound and vid in sync.
Using the oibaf repo, under Kubuntu 13.10 +3.13.3 from kernel-ppa it works very well with mplayer and mpv, with VLC (which is able to use that OSS vdpau) and xine (same) I get to see the video, but with display errors. Just the upper left quarter of the vid is being displayed well, the rest shows an opaque overlay of the first frame (I think), the overlay is proportionally being resized with the player window and the content. And the players tend to freeze when skipping forth and back several times. Thus, I've set them both to opengl2 output which makes them play SD content (upto 576p and perheaps above) just fine. So I can watch 720p and 1080p vids on that notebook, which are not running smoothly withoud radeon's vdpau. That's why I opt for libg3dvl-mesa to be an optional package inside one of the unsupported repos.
