The st calls nouveau_vp3_screen_video_supported with UNKNOWN at some
point (see src/gallium/state_trackers/vdpau). Basically VDPAU can do a
lot of things. One of them is video decoding, for which only NV12 is
supported. But it also supports other things, for which the st
supports the various other formats. No idea if that's useful, but at
least that's the idea.
