I am using a vlc (2.0.9)+vaapi (0.32 libva 0.15.0)+xvba (0.8.1)+fglrx
(13.4) setup for decoding h264 with direct rendering (Jean-Paul Saman's
patches) (Radeon 6250). CPU usage is very good, since it stays at around
50% with and AMD G-T40E processor.
Unfortunately, if vlc crashes (xvba sometimes segfaults), or if I kill()
it with SIGKILL, it seems that vaapi status remains corrupt (no call to
vaTerminate()) and after some vlc restarts the decoder eventually stops
working giving surface errors.
Is there a way of cleaning vaapi's status, short of resetting the
machine? Unloading X and fglrx is not working, and changing virtual
terminal after killing X with
chvt 1; chvt 7
isn't working either.
Unfortunately the machine is not replaceable and the software stack was
tested and I am wary of substituting from the drivers to VLC.
Thank you in advance
