I'm using the nvidia-340xx-dkms driver and I have an NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GT graphics card

You aren't going to have an usable libva implementation with this graphics card. Does something not work or do you wonder about the message? The message will be normal you don't have a VAAPI implementation.

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=282638, it may help to set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia environment variable
