Hi Florent,

If I understand correctly, the problem, if there's one, is that the libva
chooses to open a driver first rather than the other available.

This is easily controllable by the use setting the environment variable
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME

In your case you should 

  $ export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965

before running the pipelines if you want to use the intel GPU.

Another problem, still without a sound solution, is how to proceed when you
have two cards that uses the same driver. 

Could you confirm that exporting the variable works for you?

If does, regarding this report, I would close it as "not a bug". What do you
think?
