Bug description:
  This has been bothering me at least since precise (although there the
  missing link went to libvdpau_nvidia.so which was all the more
  mysterious since I do not own NVIDIA hardware).  In numerous cases do
  I get a warning that libvdpau_i965.so is being tried to be accessed
  but it fails.  I also can't find that file anywhere on my system or in
  the Ubuntu repository.  I tried poking around with ldd to find out
  where the call to that lib comes from but so far unsuccessful.

  $ vdpauinfo
  display: :0   screen: 0
  Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  Error creating VDPAU device: 1

  libvdpau1:i386 is version 0.7-1 and vdpauinfo is 0.1-1
