Bug description:
  The Intel i965 VA-API driver works well in Xorg sessions (Unity7 and
  Gnome Shell). But it refuses to load when in a Wayland session:

  $ totem bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4
  libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with unknown libva 
error,driver_name=(null)

  $ env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 totem bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4
  totem: intel_driver.c:112: intel_driver_init: Assertion

  WORKAROUNDS:

   * Use weston instead of gnome-shell; or
   * $ env -uDISPLAY totem ... # but creates corruption -> bug 1701463
   * $ env GST_GL_WINDOW=wayland totem ... # but creates corruption -> bug 
1701463
   * $ env GST_GL_WINDOW=wayland gst-play-1.0 --videosink glimagesink ...
   * $ env -uDISPLAY mpv --hwdec --opengl-backend=wayland ...
