New ebuild xvba-video (libva fglrx backend). Works without modifications to libva (perhaps conditional rdepend but not depend). Doesn't work on my evergreen, but is reported to work on older radeonHD cards (someone could test this). TODO: fix LICENSE Reproducible: Always

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Markos.

Tested to work on radeonHD-4290 and libva-0.31.1_p4, vlc-1.1.1.
I tried the ebuild for xvba-video-0.7.2 from arcon overlay to use for gnash and it is working perfectly. All that we need now is a use flag for radeon video cards on libva and we are good to go...

Now vainfo returns: libva: libva version 0.31.1-sds1 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 Segmentation fault Any ideas? I used both this ebuild and the ebuild from the arcon overlay but I get the same result.
> libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 It segfaults while trying to strlen the drivername (0x0), however this is not fatal, since vlc doesn't use this feature. Sadly we have no way to contact the maintainer to fix this trivial detail. libva can though be probably easily patched to not crash here. Latest version from my overlay http://users.tkk.fi/~jkarlson/codes/overlay/ works fine with libva-1.0.7 ati-drivers-10.12 and linux-2.6.36.2 (tested on vlc and hwdecode-demos)
Added to main tree.
