[Libva] [ANN] gstreamer-vaapi 0.3.8

[Gwenole Beauchesne]

Hi,

gstreamer-vaapi is an LGPL v2.1+ licensed collection of GStreamer
plug-ins that support VA-API. Depending on the underlying HW decoder
capabilities, it supports JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4:2, H.264 and VC-1
decoding. Tested platforms were Intel Ivy Bridge, Cedar Trail and some
NVIDIA card with the vdpau-based driver.

Version 0.3.8 - 20.Sep.2012
* Disable FFmpeg-based decoders by default
* Add JPEG decoder based on codecparsers (+Feng Yuan)
* Fix crash when destroying GstVaapiDisplay objects early
* Fix GLX rendering with FBO + texture-from-pixmap (fallback for VA/GLX)
* Fix rendering with EMGD driver when overlay mode is used
* Fix MPEG-2 decoding on Intel Atom platforms with EMGD driver
* Fix release of dangling proxy surfaces when decoder is reset (Philip Lorenz)

Gwenole.
