Hello Bernhard,
thanks for your work.
I have (also) filed a bug against intel-media-va-driver which
was invovked from VLC. They have forwarded the issue upstream:
https://github.com/intel/libva/issues/466
My CPU is Penryn, so it supports "less" SSE than what's
attempted to be used by the VA driver at which point the
SIGILL occurrs.
> Therefore it would be interesting to know with which CPU you
> are getting this SIGILL (e.g. 'lscpu' or 'cat /proc/cpuinfo').

Yeah, I certainly wondered about that, too, it being a console app.

Other deps do (see vlc above).
The stranger thing is that running vlc from either an xterm
or the desktop environment fails, while clvc only fails when
running under X and does not fail on the console.
