I'm tempted to close this one as fixed, since totem in vivid at least
does attempt to use vaapi.. just that it fails completely as shown in
bug 1416005

Title:
  Totem does not use the va-api gstreamer backend

Status in Totem Movie Player:
  Confirmed
Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  installing gstreamer -vaapi from ubuntu repos breaks thumbnail generation in nautilus
  furthermore acceleration does not work in totem - cpu usage is as high as with software rendering.

  mplayer-vaapi works perfectly on the same system.

  gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=~/test.mkv ! matroskademux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink
  makes it possible to use vaapi via commandline

  i did not find a way to use vaapi for mpeg4 part 2 video streams.

  and i wasnt able to find proper values for gstreamer-properties that
  fix thumbnails and acceleration in totem.

  id like to share debug information. just tell me what you need.
