 Summary of the bug:

 In the past a command utilising NVENC worked (as did OBS). Now I always
 get "Cannot init CUDA". I'm on a Gentoo machine and I've made sure to
 rebuild everything that uses ffmpeg. I have a GeForce 980 GTX card
 (Maxwell).

 I have Nvidia drivers version 410.57.

 I have minimally debugged this and found that it's from
 [https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavcodec/nvenc.c#L558 line
 ~558 in nvenc.c]. The return value from `cuInit()` is
 `CUDA_ERROR_UNKNOWN`. Unfortunately I have not seen any more information
 on how to debug this.

 {{{
