At least on my HTC One X (tegra3, android 4.2.2), we can't enable it by
default yet.
Here some tests i did, with a simple 720p h264 mkv (a show) :

- SW
  => everything plays fine, both frames and subtitles and both vouts

- HW without DR
  => it works, both frames and subtitles and both vouts, but way too slow,
probably because of slow memory and limited bandwith

- HW + DR
  => with surface vout, works from video list, but without any subtitles
          lots of "blend blend: no matching alpha blending routine (chroma:
RGBA -> ANOP)" in the logs

  => with opengles vout, playback starts, but the UI switchs to audio only
because vouts fails to start :
          01-22 07:50:18.251: E/libEGL(20227): EGLNativeWindowType
0x6016f980 already connected to another API
          01-22 07:50:18.251: E/libEGL(20227): eglCreateWindowSurface:407
error 300b (EGL_BAD_NATIVE_WINDOW)
          01-22 07:50:18.251: E/VLC(20227): egl_android gl: cannot create
EGL window surface

  => when starting from directoryview, it freeze when starting,  feels like
a deadlock
