here's a patch for libvdpau-va-gl. after setting 'VDPAU_DRIVER=va_gl'
and running 'guix environment --ad-hoc libvdpau-va-gl vdpauinfo -- vdpauinfo'
I get:
display: :0.0   screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: 
No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1
so it still needs some more work
