video streaming from webcam segfaults on slackware64 current 6.9.X kernel

I have used vlc and/or mplayer in slackware64 current to monitor a webcam streaming over a LAN.

Since upgrading to Kernel 6.9.X I have been encountering segfaults from vlc and xine. Prior to that everything was running perfectly fine.

Hardware wise I am running is as follows:

My suspicions there is something about the Ryzen 5 video driver in the 6.9.X kernel and how it interacts with the libvdpau.

I have used google to search if there are similar segfaults with no success so far.

Anybody else encounter anything similar?

The fallback position is to return to 6.6.30 kernel.
