Great!

Though I was able to help out a bit with an explanation, I can neither
program in assembly, nor (since I don't have one) can I test x86-64 -
so I'm glad it was enough information for you to fix things up!

It's excellent to see some forward progress on this code once again.
Are you interested in doing ongoing work with theora (more
optimisations, or other)? If you are, we should set you up with an SVN
account.

I've committed your patch.
