AMD also supports vaapi, but progress is very slow, and its still very buggy. Also, its limited to closed source drivers.
Sounds similar to what nvidia went through.
AMD's progress has been snail-paced. I think they have actually gone backwards for at least a year now. Most (All?) of the XvBA interfacing work has been done by Gwenole Beauchesne, who is working for a third party.
Nvidia's VDPAU is at least supported and it works rather well compared to every other similar attempt on Linux so far.
