As per IRC query earlier today. I've picked up a sample box with this CPU 
hoping to make a linux STB like product that'll support HD h.264 playback 
(dvb-s streamed over multicast). 

I setup F17 and rpmfusion's version of vlc & intel libva driver. Software 
decode works reasonably well on the CPU. However enabling hardware decoding 
results in laggy decoding and late frames.

vainfo indicates that it has the various expected profiles. I'm just not sure 
if the "Intel HD Clear Video" or whatever it's termed, that's listed as missing 
on this CPU, is actually required by va-api for decoding. From what I can tell, 
the CPU/GPU should be capable for decoding just not encoding.

So, what's a good method for testing/verifying va-api playback, just to rule 
out vlc oddities. 

thanks in advance,
