This patch is probably the wrong way.
The correct way to enable video decoding using VA-API for both Intel and AMD is to toggle media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled to true in about:config so I think that the correct patch would be to switch that by default for us.
That would mean testing on nvidia hardware (which doesn't have VA-API) just to check if this causes problems or not.
