XPath - select anchor after some text

I'd like to fetch data from this sample code:

<div id="text">

(sd) <a href="http://example.com/somefiledfs.flv">http://example.com/somefiledfs.flv</a>
 - 380 kbps 
 - <a href='/player.swf?config={"clip":{"url":"http://example.com/somefiledfs.flv"}'>Watch</a><br>

(576p) <a href="http://example.com/hgyj.mp4">http://example.com/hgyj.mp4</a>
 - 780 kbps 
 - <a href='/player.swf?config={"clip":{"url":"http://example.com/hgyj.mp4"}'>Watch</a><br>

</div>

I'd like to get it as:

sd - http://example.com/somefiledfs.flv

576p - http://example.com/hgyj.mp4

and so on.

Could sb help? I've beed trying to use "//div[@id='text']/a" and ancestor/preceding but I can't work it out.

Here's a working PHP snippet, basically loop over all links then check the previous node if it matches sd|576p (extend more formats here if needed...)

<?php 
$html = <<<HTML
<div id="text">
  (sd) <a href="http://example.com/somefiledfs.flv">http://example.com/somefiledfs.flv</a>   
    - 380 kbps 
    - <a href='/player.swf?config={"clip":{"url":"http://example.com/somefiledfs.flv"}'>Watch</a><br>

  (576p) <a href="http://example.com/hgyj.mp4">http://example.com/hgyj.mp4</a>
    - 780 kbps 
    - <a href='/player.swf?config={"clip":{"url":"http://example.com/hgyj.mp4"}'>Watch</a><br>

</div>
HTML;

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

$as = $xpath->query("//div[@id='text']/a");

foreach ($as as $a) {
  $prev = $a->previousSibling->nodeValue;

  if (preg_match("/sd|576p/", $prev, $matches)) {
    echo $matches[0]." - ".$a->nodeValue."\r\n";
  }
}
?>

here's a link to the snippet: https://eval.in/173038
