"the only way to make use of the GPU/DSP is via a proprietary binary blob." That i do not reject, as we all (should) know it's a common situation. I still don't get it why you reject anything else besides GPU/DSP. What was your background again? You can "play video" solely using software playback, even 1080p60 and similar formats. If it is within "acceptable performance" on a given system is written on another page.

"End of story, there is nothing to discuss here." I find you quite ignorant. Nothing as good as a fruitful and fulfilling discussion...
