Bug#673447: mplayer2: Would be nice to have vaapi support available

[Rogério Brito]

Package: mplayer2
Severity: wishlist

People that install packages like i965-va-driver and have the
appropriate drivers could really benefit from their (already
available) hardware decoding capabilities.

In particular, it would be superb to have this in the next release of
Debian (the same also applies to regular mplayer).


Regards.

P.S.: It is a shame, from a "Free as in Freedom" point of view, that
vdpau (which is at present, only available in binary nvidia
drivers---please, correct me if I am mistaken) has had support for
quite some time, while vaapi hasn't.
