It turned out the changes to my local mplayer tree were rather small.  
See attachement + adding the extra codec_ids in the table.

However, I terribly dislike the pixfmt2imgfmt() name as it is now  
implied by the removal of codec information in pixfmt.

Actually, some manufacturers use level information for error checking.  
Intel VA API implementation actually doesn't care of level, neither  
does VDPAU IIRC. However, they do care somehow on correct profile  
selection, but only if you want to be more energy efficient, I'd guess.
