Assume, the player gives me a complete frame to play, but i can only push half 
of it to device. Who guarantees me that the next time PlayVideo() gets 
called, it sees the second half of the same frame? Sure, the player developer 
will implement it that way, all i want know is to define the interface in a 
way that makes it clear already in the API what is going on and what is 
required.

In the end, i don't want anything new, i just want small pieces of code moved 
from the player into the device.

Before we are going to discuss this forever, i'm going to implement the 
changes I suggested and we can then discuss it with something more 
substantial.
