There's no way to use VDPAU without X11.

To use VDPAU without X11, someone would need to define and implement a 
"window system integration layer" that provides the ability to use VDPAU 
with a different display system. In other words, we would need the 
equivalent of vdpau_x11.h for the other windowing/display system. AFAIK, 
no such thing exists at present.
