Speaking of VAAPI, on my Mythbuntu 12 Liva front-end, I just realized that
I don't have the vainfo package as described on the wiki
<https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VAAPI>.  It looks like I have the other
packages/libraries, though.  If I instruct Myth to use the VAAPI decoder, I
suppose I'll see some error messages in the frontend log if the libraries
are not set up properly?  Would the front-end even be able to play back the
recording if I choose VAAPI and it isn't set up?  Does anyone know if
Mythbuntu 12 is known to have these libraries set up properly by default?
