Experimental RADV Vulkan Video Decoding For VP9

[edxposed]

And when are browsers going to use this?!

Firefox is not a possibility at the moment, and as for Chromium, everything depends on the decision of the Chrome Media Team, someone who revealed a few weeks ago that they have no plans for VulkanVideo, considering the existing Direct3D11VD/VideoToolboxVD/MediaCodecVD/ VaapiVD/v4l2VD is good enough
As far as I know, VulkanVideo is still lacking video processing, so it can't use fixed-function hardware to perform scaling, tone mapping, etc. This means that hardware DRM cannot be supported and mobile device battery life suffers, which is probably why they don't want to implement it
