Intel VA-API doesn't work

Hi guys, I've "backported" ffmpeg 2.2.1 and libva-intel-driver 1.2.1 (and many others) from RPMFusion to CentOS 7, just as I did with ffmpeg and libva-freeworld for CentOS 6 and while with EL6 I had great results (massive CPU usage reduction during playback), with the packages that I rebuilt for 7 there doesn't seem to be any difference. Whether I play via Totem, mplayer or VLC the CPU usage stays the same on my SandyBridge/HD3000. Has anyone hit this problem before, there must be something that I'm obviously missing. Are you guys aware of any issues?
