You can choose the adaptor with the option -vo xv:adaptor=n

xvinfo shows two adaptors. This time overlay is the first so it's
actually the default. When moving the window "containing" the overlay
the overlay position is indeed not updated as fast as the window
moves.

The good thing is that this time I was unable to reproduce the issue.
However, last time the OSD would flicker no matter what options for xv
I used.
