Comment (by babgvant):

 Do mean whether LA will actually happen or if the encoder will fail to
 init/encode?

 Here's output from my app, which I added some logging to show that it is
 able to configure LA depth (1.7) & LA downsampling (1.8) on my IVB box.

 [end output]

 I can't say whether it actually does the LA feature inside the MSDK, but
 it doesn't fail to encode the file.
