Research direction

The issue names only the --hwdec=vulkan and --vo=dmabuf-wayland options, with no files, tests, logs, or sample files. Start by locating those option entry points and documenting the expected interaction; done should mean Vulkan hardware decoding works with the dmabuf Wayland video output and is covered by an appropriate test.
