Artie is correct. As of writing, gstreamer-vaapi is dependent on the
gstreamer-0.10 protocol and components installed by gst-plugins-bad. I
have been compiling and using gstreamer-0.10 and gstreamer-vaapi for the
past few months.
Though not directly related, Robster submitted a backport patch to
upstream gst-plugins-bad for `waylandsink`, which was committed to the
0.10 branch in late November.[1] The gst-plugins-bad `waylandsink` now
supports the Wayland 1.0 protocol on gstreamer master, 1.0, and 0.10
branches.
In case it helps, I build-- all on 0.10 branches-- gstreamer,
gst-plugins-[base,good,bad], gstreamer-vaapi, and gst-ffmpeg. In that order.
The container specified in the example pipeline has a 'webm' prefix, so
presumably it contains a VP8 video stream. In order to use a `vaapisink`
pipeline, you must query the VA-API driver (with `vainfo`) to ensure the
video stream (in this case, VP8) is supported by your VA-API driver. I
use H264 streams (Big Buck Bunny or Sintel) to exercise the vaapisink on
my systems, since H264 acceleration is supported. For streams not
supported by your VA-API driver, you will need to investigate an
alternative pipeline. I believe the libva mailing list could help you there.

I’m fairly sure, though, that gstreamer-vaapi still only works with
gst-0.10 and is updated to the Wayland 1.0 protocol.

Hi.
As for compiling mplayer for Wayland, what mplayer does when it
compiles is optimizes itself for the current CPU, which is great if
you are running mplayer on one computer, however, for compiling
mplayer for a distribution, or for compiling it on a system that is on
a USB drive for multiple computers, mplayer will crash, as the binary
tries to use CPU features that it doesn't have
I looked at the debian/rules file for Ubuntu's mplayer, and found the
configure flags they user
In order to be able to run mplayer on more hardware, you need to add
these flags to ./configure on 32 bit machines:
--enable-runtime-cpudetection --target=i586-linux
I was able to test this on my 32 bit distribution, and it worked.
It also seems the Ubuntu debian/rules just add one flag for 64 bit
processors, but I have not tested the effect on 64 bit, or if is even
necessary on 64 bit:
--enable-runtime-cpudetection
I also got gstreamer working on Wayland with these repos, branches,
and configure options. I can't quite remember what I installed for
dependencies though...

Unfortunately, gstreamer-vaapi it seems it is not updated for the
lastest Wayland, or gstreamer, and despite many combinations, it seems
that it won't build. The master branch tries to find gst-plugins-base
0.10, and other branches fail with out of date Wayland issues. It
seems that gstreamer works without it though.

For playing a file gstreamer:
$WLD/bin/gst-launch-1.0 playbin video-sink=glimagesink
uri=file:///path/to/file/to/play.webm
For showing the gstreamer test:
$WLD/bin/gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! glimagesink
