Please apologize my slowness: I'll try to find the patches in my mailbox 
and then but it into the CVS, too.

It's not possible from the libsoftmpeg side.

libsoftmpeg is a standalone library (and can be used with other

libsoftmpeg uses LGPL stuff only, so it can be used in closed-source 
environments, too.
