I might be interested as I'm already running locally backported
libva-1.7.1 (needed for smooth fast-forwarding using mpv on Haswell).
I'll give a intel-vaapi-driver bpo a try later today, and see how it
goes. That said I am not interested in testing it against the latest
linux-image bpo, because I track upstream linux-4.4.x. Does this
disqualify me from maintaining a backport of libva and
intel-vaapi-driver?
Cheers,
Nicholas
