Hi Arkay.
The Arch 'xbmc' 'stable' package is known not to work properly on 64 bit. The xbmc-svn package does work on 64 bit.
However, XBMC does have problems on 64 bit in general. Quite often the main developers advise people to use 32 bit to avoid the hassle.
That said, I use xbmc-svn on 64 bit and I'm very happy with it.
Whether you choose to revert to 32 bit or not, I'd strongly advise you to use the xbmc-svn package from AUR. Already it is better than the 9.04 release with several fixes, an improved PM III skin and smoothvideo.
Also: the xbmc-svn package doesn't require pulse.
PS: Pleased to see you're giving mythtv-fixes-vdpau a shot!
Cheers
