I know of no such plans yet. OpenGL drivers are found via the 
/run/opengl* symlink (vdpau is there, too). VA API is currently found by 
setting an environment variable, so that is done when starting your 
display manager (so it gets into env of every X app).

If it makes sense to use it without any graphics subsystem, then we can 
change it, but I'm not sure if VA API is useful without graphics mode...
