Asking for XvMC support in VT8378 [S3 UniChrome]

Description
As far as I know (see URL) there is currently no MPEG2 hardware decoding support for the KM400A chipset, which includes the S3 UniChrome (VT8378) GPU. Although I guess there is some kind of obstacle to it, I had to ask for it anyway.
I've written to VIA too, complaining about their announcements on colaborating with FOSS, saying that their driver was little better than VESA, and asking for some colaboration from them so I could actually watch DVDs on my computer.
