This new patch does not break previous VDA implementation when VideoToolbox is disabled
or not public in Mac OS version prior to 10.8.
Unfortunately,  I can’t test on a 10.6 or 10.7 box because my hardware is supported by
hardware acceleration only since 10.8.

At least it returns me the right error when I try to use VDA on Mac OS 10.6.8 :

[h264 @ 0x102906a00] Cannot initialize VDA -12470

Where -12470 means not supported hardware from  VDA decoder API results code:

kVDADecoderHardwareNotSupportedErr  = -12470

Does anyone has supported hardware box running on these OS’s and have time to make some tests ?
It would be nice to report the results of the tests here.
