I have no oppinion on the patch itself but i think
if MT+HWaccel works in some case(s) and is faster then there should be
a way to enable that. We have optional "fast" decoding support too
that skips some checks and could crash or uses simpler dequantization
or our skip loopfilter support, ...

Of course loosing videolan is a major problem too, i dont think
that should be taken lightly.

I dont understand the technical side of the MT+HWaccel problems well
enough to argue about that or possible solutions.
