Hey,

Did you manage to make crystalhd work already ? Need help for that or
is it just an example ?

Agree with that but I'd expect the option to support multiple va to be
passed "same as for vo and vc, i.e. appended with ",".

E.g. -va crystalhd,vaapi,

To try cystalhd then vaapi then none.
That's much easier to handle for distributions and other automatic scripts.
