Thanks again for finding this link, Laurent!

(Merci encore une fois :-) )

It compiles on debian wheezy, using stock libva.

HD video is played back smooth and without any tearing.

CPU load is around 6% on an i3 at 3100MHz for 1920x1080 at 50fps.

(Just curious: VLC, for 1920x1080 at 24fps, with libva acceleration, on the 
same machine uses about 150% CPU. It is a bit of an unfair comparison as 
VLC can apply any video filter on top of the decoded video, but I do not 
need that...)

Greets,
Kiste
