gst1-vaapi: new package
gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
GStreamer and helper libraries. These libraries are used for hardware
decoding and encoding of several video formats.
decoding formats:
JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4:2, H.264 AVC, H.264 MVC, VP8, VC-1, WMV3, and HEVC.
encoding formats:
MPEG-2, H.264 AVC, H.264 MVC, JPEG, VP8, HEVC
The package won't compile without at least one renderer enabled, so I
chose to enable DRM by default, as X11, GLX, and wayland are heavy
handed with the dependencies. As such, I have disabled every option
defaulting to yes except for DRM for the first patch.
Also, these codecs are only for x86 and require a Intel CPU (See Hardware
Requirements on line 82 of the README file.)
