@rea1ity:
AE is under heavy development. We expect to make new packages tomorrow after some very critical bugs have been sorted out. If it works fine for our testing - we will update xbmc-xvba version with this testing version.
So thanks for your report - I hope it was fixed upstream.

About the 9.0.0 Release:
There are currently three versions out there:
1.) 9.0.0 Embedded Version with String: 9.00-120815a-147115C-ATI Kernel-Module Date: August 15
2.) 9.0.0 12.9 Beta Version with String: 9.00-120815a-147115C-ATI Kernel-Module Date: August 15
-> These two are completely the same - but only different control files
3.) 9.0.0 Quantal Version with String: 9.00.11-120920a-147436C-ATI Kernel-Module Date: September 20
Quantal Versionis more than one month newer than the other versions. Very irritating all that stuff and versioning.

Embedded was fine. Beta was also fine. The newest and "best" is the Quantal Version. It makes suspend working for me. But - concerning XVBA there is no real advantage over 12.6 or 12.8 yet. Though(!) beginning with 9.0.0 a new internal XVBA API version is shipped. As there is no new SDK for it - no new features can be used.
You can easily build the quantal version on Precise - best is: just wait :-)

@guilmxm:
Quantal Version I have downloaded via packages.ubuntu.com It is not in the normal ".run" file form. I repackaged the debian package via dpkg-buildpackage.
The version you have linked is the official "beta" - that is one month older than what currently is in quantal.
the kernel modul version, you get by doing: dmesg |grep fglrx
The other version string (if correctly updated (aticonfig --initial -f)) you can get via:
sudo amdconfig --get-pcs-key=LDC,ReleaseVersion
