It neither makes me feel better nor worse. My mail could have been read
as a complaint about people working on 3D rather than video
acceleration. This was not my intention at all. Sorry, if it sounded
that way.

So there is documentation on some? Which ones? I couldn't
find any information about that.

AMD's John Bridgman has said somewhere (sorry, don't have the
reference handy), that maybe in the future the specifications of the UVD
could be released to the public. Should that ever happened, would it be
possible to use it from within that state tracker? Or would the state
tracker be tied to tightly to the shader model?
