    Will hardware decoding / encoding support free codecs?

      What do you mean? You can use vaapi and vdpau with AMD cards.

        So does it still have a HAL?

          So the nee AMDGPU code for Vega will include DC? Does that mean it's HAL-free? Maybe it could be more easily backported to polaris that way.

              no, it means that it will not land in mainline until dc lands in mainline

                  Hm, that's more differences than I thought there would be. I imagined it would just be a beefier Polaris. Now I wish there were lower-end Vegas...

                    You can, but on my RX480, I can only do it with H.264 (and to be honest, it's glitching horribly in ffmpeg). No VPx support there (or any other free codec for that matter).

                    That's what I get:

                    Code:
                    $ vainfo
                    libva info: VA-API version 0.39.4
                    libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
                    libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so
                    libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_39
                    libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
                    vainfo: VA-API version: 0.39 (libva 1.7.3)
                    vainfo: Driver version: mesa gallium vaapi
                    vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
                          VAProfileMPEG2Simple            : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileMPEG2Main              : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileVC1Simple              : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileVC1Main                : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileVC1Advanced            : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice
                          VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
                          VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
                          VAProfileHEVCMain               : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileHEVCMain10             : VAEntrypointVLD
                          VAProfileNone                   : VAEntrypointVideoProc
