[Bug]: AMD drivers not properly installed about docker-steam-headless

I had the same problem. You can solve it by either not using sid for the mesa driver (https://github.com/Steam-Headless/docker-steam-headless/blob/master/overlay/etc/cont-init.d/60-configure_gpu_driver.sh#L148C5-L148C5), or do apt upgrade after adding it as source.

What packages are being upgraded?

To get hardware encoding on amd I just needed to update va-driver-all and libva2 from Sid. Temporarily it works by creating an init.d script with apt update and install for the two packages. After the container is up and running apt still sources the Sid repos so no need to add it to the sources.

This makes Steam (in Docker) crash for me whenever initiating a stream

Unable to test this myself, but would you mind trying steam streaming again after installing libva2:i386? it should auto install the lib32 va-driver as well as a dependency. /crossfingers (fyi moonlight/sunshine works without the lib32 libraries as another option)
edit: sorry to say but for the time being, if it doesn't work, disabling hardware encoding in steam host streaming settings is a temporary workaround.

Steam is fine with CPU encoding, I get 60+ fps, often 80-90 or so, but I would prefer a full 100fps if I could. I have never gotten Sunshine/Moonlight to work well, it's always been really laggy no matter the host OS, and I've tried on two different host computers (AMD and NVidia) on both Windows and Linux with Geforce Experience and Sunshine, on multiple different clients. All have been laggy for me over a wired gigabit LAN, and sadly this docker container is no different. This is why I would prefer for Steam streaming to be fixed.

EDIT: I downgraded all packages to bookworm and now Sunshine has hardware acceleration.

Seeing the same with a dedicated AMD GPU. Can confirm downgrading all packages to bookworm fixes acceleration in Sunshine, then installing libva2:i386 fixes Steam streaming.
