AMDs new AMDXvBA library

[Torgeir Veimo]

I had a quick look at the libAMDXvBA.so.1.0 library that comes with  
the latest fglrx driver from AMD (Catalyst v8.10) with gdb and it  
seems to be a quite comprehensive library implemented in C++.

There are quite a good number of classes, with names such as  
R600CmdBuf, R600ColorEnchanceFilter, R600Plane,  
R600SubstreamBlendFilter, R600UpSampleShader, ShaderManager,  
Subpicture, but much more interesting are classes such as  
UVDBufferPool, UVDCodec, UVDCodecH264, UVDCodecMpeg2, UVDCodecVC1,  
UVDCodecVLD, etc.

Am wondering if someone on the list with connections to AMD knows  
when / if header files will be made available for this library?


Here's a sample output from gdb. It's easy to get the list by starting  
gdb as 'gdb libAMDXvBA.so.1.0' then typing Break ' and press tab for  
autocompletion.
