I understand the problem with vlVaGetImage not respecting  parameter and that 
has to be fixed.
Christian, could you please provide some more input on addrlib  alignment for 
fixing this.

Thanks,
Deepak

That was not my understanding. vlVaCreateImage creates a linear image, not a 
render surface. vlVaGetImage then writes data to it, and goes way over because 
the underlying surface's dimensions are larger than the image's (because the 
underlying surface *does* have the proper alignment).

But perhaps I misunderstood. Either way, I think we're in agreement that 
vlVaGetImage needs fixing :)
