When libvdapu.so is hosted by X.Org as open source, we can decide whether to deliver it for SPARC. Other vendors may decide to offer their own back end DSOs that could potentially work on SPARC. The current implementation is not network aware. Given the additional bandwidth requirements of HD video and synchronization with audio it may not be feasible to ever offer non-local support.
