Sure the XVideo extension is not useful, but the Video Acceleration API is much more than that, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Acceleration_API http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi A peruse of the specification would suggest that the VAEntrypointVLD is pretty high up in the codec, as far as I can tell from a cursory glance basically the video stream once it has been unwrapped from it's file container. It's first level decompression of the losslessly compressed video stream. You might need to pack it back up again a bit or mung it somewhat to get it in a suitable format to push down the MS-RDPEV channel. However if the current entry points are not suitable, you could always look to get the standard extended to include a higher level entry point that would be suitable. The advantage of getting it working with VA API is that there are a whole host of media players that work with this. There is also the VDPAU standard from Nvidia that does a similar thing if VAAPI is not sufficient. > BTW, you asked about the audio redir.

I saw there was some Ubuntu binary debs, but did not see any announcement of an equivalent source tarball etc. JAB. -- Jonathan A.
