First a clarification... the existing Atom CPU packages do not contain
HW acceleration, but the Poulsbo chipset (which is part of the Menlow
platform and showing up in MID hw designs and some other vertical
markets) does have hw acceleration for several video decode operations.
So... most (not all, but most) of the new netbooks (like the new
eeepc's) do not have video hw acceleration since they do not use the
Poulsbo chipset.

It is my understanding that Fluendo now has a codecs package that
include HW accelerated video. I do not know what all their package
includes, and if it has been officially released yet. I would advise
contacting Fluendo if you are looking to create a gstreamer based
product with Poulsbo (via libva) accelerated video decoding codecs.
With that said... we still want an open implementation of what ever hw
accelerated codecs any of the Atom based platforms provide (both now and
into future designs where more interesting audio/video accelerators
start coming into the picture.) To this end we have a few engineers that
work out of our Shanghi office ramping up on gstreamer so that they can
kick off an open implementation of (initially) the poulsbo hw
accelerated codecs.

The next generation of RealPlayer is striving to provide more OEM
extensibility, but the reality is that you can write an application that
calls into an existing installation by either use the helix-dbus-server
(which runs a media service daemon with mechanisms to play content in
your application window), or you can directly call into the libraries
using the hxclientkit API's.
