Description:

VAAPI Hardware decoding in Steam Remote Play is broken on Intel due to missing libva1 and lib32-libva1.

Since  FS#64445  it seems Steam has has switched to libva and lib32-libva as hard dependencies, which provide libva.so.2. However, Steam still needs libva.so.1 for VAAPI hardware decoding.

Additional info:
* link to upstream bug report, if any
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5759
*
It seems libva1 and lib32-libva1 are no longer in the repos. Maybe steam-native-runtime package should provide libva.so.1 as well, or re-add libva1 packages to repos.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Attempt to use Steam Remote Play on Intel GPU and the session will fallback to software decoding.
2. Install lib32-libva1 and libva1 from Arch Rollback Machine.
3. Use Steam Remote Play and you will get VAAPI hardware decoding.
This task depends upon

Is this and the other open issues going to be added this year?

For the last few months (at least), nothing in steam depends on libva.so.1. Misc utilities like steam-runtime-tools and vainfo-1 dlopen it, but that's for reporting purposed only.
