Hi,

my final goal is to have a h264 video rendered directly in a surface
(using ffmpeg as a library). If render nodes surfaces can be displayed
on the screen then I'm fine with it and forget about that patch.

I did some tests and I had the impression that when the rendering was
done with a DRI render node, it was slower than when the VADisplay was
grabbeb from wayland (F25 with gnome3). But it may be just an impression
or a test bias.

Best regards.
