In general, I'd be up for something like this. We did something like this at Calista on Windows. One issue was that we had to DMA the frame buffer from the Video card into the Encoder. That is a lot of data across the PCIe bus. But for X11rdp, the frame buffer is in system memory, so it's DMA in RGB data, DMA out compressed MPG4 data. I think it's worth some time investigating if you have the time. I know where to add the hook on both client(FreeRDP) and server(X11rdp, xrdp).
