Thanks for the info Victor.
I will try to set it up and because I am new to the code base and have no idea where to start, I will ping you on IRC for help if you don't mind (assuming you're `toso`).

Yes, I'm trying to play with it now and then in the client using
gstreamer1-vaapi it works but we don't handle hw decoding specifically.
If you have all the right bits installed, you can try enabling
SPICE_GSTVIDEO_AUTO which uses decodebin. It should try vaapi elemets
(and hw decoding) if possible.
But to have this working nicely, we should have an easy way to setup
spice-sever to use vp8 or h264 which broadens the hw decoding
possibilities (and makes much easier to test too!) - So, I've started
playing with that first [0]

With that in, working on improving the client-side to handle hw decoding
will be easier. If you are interested in the decoding side, feel free to
jump in :)
