Hi Gwenole,

did you move your XvBA backend driver from its proprietary license to
the GNU GPL V2 and therefore released the source code? Or are the
xvba-driver found at

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/xvba-driver/

and the xvba-video driver found at

http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/xvba-video/

completely different things?

Seems like AMD finally released a SDK for XvBA in the meantime.
