The mplayer package in Ubuntu does not have vaapi support. There is a
fork callled 'mplayer-vaapi', however this work has been rejected by
both mplayer and mplayer2 upstream's because of poor implementation. It
would be great if somone would re-implement that properly so that it can
be merged upstream.

Packaging the vaapi enabled mplayer fork is tracked here:
