Erm, yeah, libva-intel-driver might be useful if you want it to actually
work, I should have mentioned that!

Ah right, that's the problem where private libraries in different
directories with the same basename get confused for the same library.
Known problem and I thought there was a workaround.  I'll dig.

For what it's worth I plan on getting the va metapackages removed from
meta-intel now as they're pointless - they were created to abstract the
choice between EMGD and gst-vaapi but EMGD doesn't exist in meta-intel any
more.
