I'd like to point out that all these names are complete nonsense.
libavcodec does _not_ provide or use hardware acceleration.
The _only_ thing it does it provide partially decoded data.
Why is that an issue? Because it gets confusing as hell if someone
actually does add hardware decoding, do we name the next enum then
HW_ACCELERATION_THE_KIND_THAT_ACTUALLY_USES_HARDWARE_YA_KNOW :-P
