gst-inspect-1.0 vaapi gives 0 features on Ubuntu

[Julien Isorce]

Hi,

Try LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 vainfo
or uninstall the intel media sdk ->
/opt/intel/mediasdk/lib64/iHD_drv_video.so

I do not know why it defaults to media sdk, you can create an issue to
libva here https://github.com/intel/libva/issues
as this does not look like a gstreamer issue.
