> What if the machine has more than one GPU ?
I think we can have the following situations:
- more than one GPU from different vendors:
In this case, user preference can be determined based on which Gstreamer
plugins are installed on the machine. In other words if the user wants to
use a specific GPU for this use-case, he needs to ensure that only the
plugins that work with that GPU are installed.
- more than one GPU from same vendor:
AFAIK, in this case the same Gstreamer plugins would work with both
GPUs. Therefore, the onus is on Gstreamer to associate the current
"context" with the right GPU. I don't think there is anything else that
can be done at the Spice level for this case.

I think doing it this way will prevent checking for this condition
in spice-gtk :
if (vendor == GPU_VENDOR_INTEL ||
vendor == GPU_VENDOR_UNKNOWN) {

Ok, I'll incorporate your suggestions in v2.

Sure, will add it in v2.
