Actually I misinterpreted the problem - it does look like tearing. This
probably means one of two things:

* The textured video blit takes too long to finish before the next output frame
  is scanned out.

or

* The textured video blit doesn't finish before the next source frame is
  uploaded to VRAM.

If it's the first case, it boils down to 'the GPU is too slow to handle bicubic
filtering without tearing, you need to disable it'.

If it's the second case though, this patch may fix the tearing, though it may
introduce frame skips instead.
