The NEWSTRUCT driver hase been running for me more or less stable since the 
announcement of the new features. DVD playback works normal here.
The SPU decoder and the a52 decoder got changed a lot in the latest versions. 
Those changes where supposed do not change the basic behavior. But as always 
when doing radical changes, some bits did broke. The SPU stuff still has some 
quirks left, e.g. normal subtitles do not work at the moment. The a52 decoder 
seems to generate presentation timestamps slightly different that before, 
leading to jumpy video or audio playback on some DVD's that used to work 
before.
Appart from that DVD playback should be stable with all versions of the 
driver.

Have fun
