[linuxtv-softmpeg] SDL backend?

[Niklas Peinecke <n.peinecke@web.de>]

Hi all, especially Michael,

I have joined the softmpeg list since I think libsoftmpeg could be the 
solution to overcome the use of "FF" DVB cards with linux. I myself use 
a skystar2, thus a software decoder would be great to have!

However I'm a bit worried about the use of DirectFB, practically the 
Matrox G400/500 series seems to be the only graphics adapter supported 
properly. Therefor I think it could be useful to have another backend, 
maybe based on SDL. I have taken a look at the code of libsoftmpeg and 
(although I'm a total newbie to DirectFB, SDL and libavcodec) I think it 
should be possible to implement such a thing. The APIs of DirectFB and 
SDL look very similar.

Should I try to develop such a backend? Is SDL the optimal choice or 
should I go for another solution?

Regards,

Niklas
