[Libva] G45 status

[Sebastian Reichel]

Hi,

I guessed, that it's not yet supported. My questions are:

* Are there are still plans to add support for G45? I read
  somewhere, that support was supposed to be added in Q3/2010.
  Is there a new release plan? :)

* Why does libva announce H264/VC1 on G45 platform if it
  does not work? This way players, which check for libva
  support will crash instead of using software fallback.
