--- Comment #6 from Ilia Mirkin <[email protected]> ---
Unlike public API's, gallium API's are fluid and not extremely well-defined.
They're primarily defined by the existing users, and secondarily by
documentation when those users disagree. Video API's are especially poorly
defined, as there are only 2 real driver implementations (radeon + nouveau),
and until recently, only st/xvmc and st/vdpau (and everyone except me hates
st/xvmc).

I believe that st/va had to make some changes to how functions were called and
what parameters they were allowed to have, but the updates were only made to
the radeon drivers. Unfortunately I don't know what those updates were. Emil
mentioned chunked decoding, but I don't really know what that is. Perhaps you
can look at the st/va enablement patches for radeon and see what all they had
to change.
